THEIR ENEMY SEEMS UNBEATABLE
BUT HUMANITY IS INDOMITABLE

A Jain warship has risen from an ancient prison, wielding lethal technology. The ship's goal is to catch its old adversary, the Client, and to destroy all who stand in its path. Humanity and the prador thought the Jain were long extinct. But their nemesis is back, and Orlandine must prepare humanity's defence. She'll need the Client's knowledge to do this - but is the enemy of your enemy a friend?

Earth Central and the prador enter an uneasy alliance when faced with annihilation. But as the Jain warship crosses the galaxy, it seems unstoppable. Orlandine's life's work has been to neutralize Jain weaponry, so if she can't triumph, no one can. But could she become what she's vowed to destroy?
