Annotation

In the year of our Lord 2068It's the twilight of the second age in a group of five galaxies called the Quintstraya. The era of Guardian victories over the military forces of the Tisrad master races has come to an end. Now a dreadful prophecy unfolds, one that affects every living soul in the Quintstraya. And it begins in a region of lawless deep space called the dead zone.Embittered that he had to postpone his engagement to his beloved fiancee and with a strong sense of foreboding, Captain Asafa of the Guardian ship Osparatta is sent on an unusual mission beyond Guardian borders to rescue a civilian exploration team of a transitional government. But instead of finding helpless scientists, he finds himself the vanguard against resurrected legions of conscripted soldiers once serving the Tisrad master races, killed millennia ago. With less than a full complement of crew, and the Osparatta's losses mounting by the minute, Asafa is hard-pressed to carry out orders from Guardian High Command to hold his position until reinforcements arrive. But failure to hold back the rising tide of evil will determine not only the fate of himself and his crew, but every single human and peaceful alien race in the Quintstraya.
