Andy Foster and his Solarans have determined that the invasion heading toward Earth is the work of one madman, Florin Mer Dael. The challenge is that Dael is proving to be somewhat difficult to find and time is running out for a number of worlds that Dael wants to destroy.
In the meantime, the number of inhabited worlds that are exposed to potential harm is increasing and the Solarans have indications that there may be other survivors of the terror Dael has already unleashed.
Andy is also painfully aware of the shortage of personnel and equipment needed to deliver the protection umbrella that the Solarans intend to provide. There is evidence that there are other forces at large that will make the
Solaran's job even more difficult. So in addition to finding a planetary scale mass-murderer, they must adjust to the need for a larger presence to cover a much larger area.
