Mission

The Blackfleet has finally been defeated, but this is no time for celebration! Having lost the battle, the alien loyalists take their revenge by setting Mars ablaze in chaos! Worse, they've split into two factions.Bob and Diamond race back to Mars to join the Allied Martian Powers in a fight for its survival. The zealot faction of the loyalists, the Andazeh, are hellbent on destroying everything in their path. They have advanced their diabolical plan to rid Mars of humans and any aliens who oppose them and they've found a new hiding place in which to launch their guerilla strikes. Their primary focus is the city of Ophir the budding flower of Mars.To Bob's great dismay, the enemy receives an unintended boon directly from him! Both he and Diamond must help the Alliance finish the job of defeating the enemy once and for all, bringing the conflict to a dramatic conclusion.

The affair on Langrenus now settled, Bob plans to return home. But an urgent cry for help from an old friend interrupts his homecoming. The Big Boss sends him a fleet of newly built fighter ships, seemingly just in time for this new and unexpected mission. Bob brings along a new ally, enlisting him in his growing little band of U-net agents. The new guy is James Jenkins, a.k.a Diamond Dog, a young, hot-shot pilot with smuggling connections and as soon as they set foot on Mars trouble blows up in their faces.A new city is being built and there will be a final gathering of the Allied Martian Powers. They've been planning their long-awaited and perilous mission to destroy the loyalist alien military base on Europa. Bob and Diamond bring along much needed help to the cause, more than willing to rally to the side of the Alliance of Martian Powers but Bob finds that things are changing faster than he can keep up with and his experience in Langrenus haunts him in more ways than one. On Mars, alliances between humans and aliens are complex, tenuous things and Bob finds that even relationships with one's allies can be uneasy.

Crash landing!After a rowdy victory celebration following the battle of Europa, Bob goes for a stargazing trip out in the desert and wrecks his speeder. Stranded, he soon finds that he isn't alone. Harbeasts, the savage, fearsome, genetically engineered predators that roam the Martian deserts are hot on his trail!With no water, no food, limited air supply, no working vehicle and the nearest way-station days away, Bob finds himself in a dogged fight for survival. Unfortunately, Bob soon finds that the harbeasts aren't the only predators out to get him!

The Dark Energy Project, started by a group of far thinking engineers, scientists and programmers many years ago has come roaring back like a storm!Meant to catapult human exploration and civilization out to the farthest reaches of space, it centered around the groundbreaking information on how to build working stargates. Except, the information was stolen and its founders and all other humans attached to the project killed by alien loyalists. Thereafter, it was renamed The Blackguard Project, the linchpin of the entire drama between humans, alien rebels and the alien loyalists. It's a shortcut for the aliens in the approaching Black Fleet who abandoned their dying planet and are heading to the solar system to invade Earth and wipe out humanity.Bob receives a copy of the Blackguard files by The Boss with a new mission: stop the inaugural activation of the new stargate at the annual Sci-Tech Convention. To most people, this is a momentous year in the history of science and space exploration. However, Bob and his U-net band know that this gate is a Trojan Horse! It must be stopped and the aliens behind this sinister plan exposed, no matter the cost.
