Commander Jack Hunter is the most dangerous man in the galaxy, a man with nothing left to lose.
Four years ago, he was framed by his superiors, forced to take responsibility for one of the most disastrous defeats in the history of the United Terran Republic, a defeat that almost brought about the end of the decades-long Colonial War, a fight to the death with the forces of the Colonial Federation. Exiled to the Rim as a one-man task-force, Commander Hunter has a new quest, to track down a mysterious warship lurking in the shadows, a warship that could wreak untold havoc on the unprotected border worlds, a ship nobody other than he believes even exists.
Finally, Commander Hunter is granted one last chance to prove that his phantom battlecruiser is real, and is assigned to one of the most advanced warships in the Terran Fleet, a warp-two cruiser, USS Shanghai, commanded by an old Academy rival, and a crew that knows him only as a renegade. If his theory proves wrong, his career, whatever is left of it, is over.
If his theory is right, he will be forced into the greatest battle of his life…with the fate of the twenty-year Colonial War, the destiny of all of humanity, dependent on his victory…
