After a hundred years of brutal war against the Syndics, the Alliance fleet is marooned deep in enemy territory, weakened and demoralised and desperate to make it home. Their fate rests in the hands of Captain Black Jack Geary, a man who has been presumed dead but then emerged from a century of survival hibernation to find his name had become legend.
