He and the crew of the "Odysseus" must hunt down those who unleashed the hellish attack on his homeworld and that of Earth s Priminae allies. But the situation turns dire when they catch sight of a ship belonging to the mysterious beings who orchestrate the fearsome Drasin s depredations. This powerful Empire, it seems, has two primary aims: to conquer new worlds and settle old scores.
