Now Commander Vatta is back--locked and loaded and ready to win the fight against the marauding forces of ruthless space pirate Gammis Turek.For Ky, it's not just about liberating the star systems subjugated by Turek and defending the rest of the galaxy's freedom. There's also a score to be settled and payback to be meted out for the obliteration of the Vatta Transport dynasty . . . and the slaughter of Ky's family. But the enemy have their own escalation efforts under way--including the placement of covert agents among the allies with whom Ky and the surviving Vattas are collaborating in the war effort.
