The Trellixians will not rest until every Human is dead and the Earth is theirs. On Earth, General Mitchell and Fleet Admiral Edwards prepare to fight their biggest battle. Every man and woman is being trained to use a weapon. However, their only real hope lies with two small exploration ships far away from home on a search for an ally that might not exist.
