In the year 2450, peace is commonplace for the Interstellar Earth Republic. Captain Dennis Masilleo has been in command of the IERS Monitor for eight years. The former captain of the Monitor, Zeta Smith, is now a Huzlorian count and is the ruler of the city of Dublesh on the Planet Huzlor. But from the darkest reaches of space, a group of enemies is about to strike, and peace for Masilleo, Smith, and the rest of humanity is about to be shattered. Evil is on the move, and it is bringing death and destruction to the worlds of the Interstellar Earth Republic and into the lives of the crew of the Monitor. The greatest danger Earth has ever faced is about to be unleashed, and a war of unbelievable magnitude will spread across the known galaxy. The crew of the Monitor will be tested like they never have been before, and everything they hold dear will be shaken to its foundation. Even if they are successful in defeating this evil, they will still have to face an even greater opponent who is lurking in the shadows close to home. It will be as if the universe itself has turned on humanity, and many people will be considered to be among the forsaken multitude. This is the fourth book in the Interstellar Monitor series. 3
