Review Summaries
"The Insectoids led the Aliance into a trap and killed most of their leaders and war space fleet. They then atacked all the home worlds and started to enslave the population. War Admiral Norman North and his fleet was not at the signing of the peace treaty when the fleet was wiped out, he and his fleet escaped and was able to assist a number of the directorate fleet in escaping. Whilst on the planet August our hero Clifford Croft and some of the agencey operatives started a resistance group where they started to fight the insectoids on the ground. All in all a very thrilling story that keeps you captivated from start to finish."
