Deep in the Confederation, Rear Admiral Fulmar heads toward his mission of destroying all Lamothian planets. As long as he can avoid the large Lamothian fleet, he can accomplish his task. If only the Lamothians had heeded High Princess Layla’s warning to stop their barbaric feasts where humans are the delicacy consumed, then perhaps things would have turned out differently. Will Fulmar be successful in his mission? Will the humans of the Empire and Earth eliminate the threat of their enemies? The fate of worlds is decided in fleet battles in the Confederation and the Human Empire.
