Synopsis

From the back cover: This is the story of three people: Sten Duncan, a soldier of humanity; Niun, last warrior of the **mri**, humanity's enemies; Melein, priestess-queen of the final fallen **mri** stronghold. This is the story of two mighty species fighting for a galaxy: humanity driving out from Earth, and the enigmatic regul struggling to hold their stars with **mri** mercenaries. This is a story of diplomacy and warfare, of conspiracy and betrayal, and of three flesh-and-blood people who found themselves thrown together in a life-and-death alliance.
