Payne had known his idea was dangerous. He just didn't know it would leave him stranded behind enemy lines. He was out of contact and out of supplies. He's alone with only a freed artificial intelligence for company. And he's almost out of time. The ancient evil has found a way to make their already powerful fleet even more lethal. They need just a few more days to make it operational. Ira Malhotra knows this. She knows she has to stop it. But she doesn't know if Payne is even still alive. If she waits too long, she loses the war. But if she orders her fleet to act, she'll commit genocide - a Pyrrhic victory at best. Can Payne and his AI partner achieve the mission in time? Or will Malhotra pull the trigger on her genocidal last resort? Because one thing's for sure: she cannot allow the enemy fleet to swarm Earth. Thanks for Reading!
