But Admiral Alexander Koenig, the hero of Alphekka, has gone rogue, launching his fabled battlegroup beyond the boundaries of Human Space against all orders. With Confederation warships in hot pursuit, Koenig is taking the war for humankind’s survival directly to a mysterious omnipotent enemy.

When time has run out, when there are no choices left and the government's hands are tied, the Oval Office has one last bid for action: Stony Man. A last-resort, covert action team, this elite commando and cybernetics defense unit swings into action to protect America and the rest of the free world from the nightmare point of no return.Dedicated to a cause thirty years in the making, a powerful, militant group has amassed a private army of weaponry and mercenaries, and a mandate of world peace–by way of mass murder. Across the globe, unmarked planes are spilling a tidal wave of innocent blood as military and civilian targets all become fair game. When enough of the world is gone…they will step into power. Unless freedom's last, longest…and only shot does what it does best: the impossible.
