The great debate is over. The human race has rejected the
idea of pulling back from the stars and hiding on Earth in
the hope the Broa will overlook us for a few more
generations.
Instead, the World Parliament, by a 60-40 vote, has
decided to throw the dice and go for a win.
Parliament Hall resounds with brave words as members
declare victory inevitable.
With the
balance of forces a million to one against Homo sapiens
Terra, those who must turn patriotic speeches into
hard-won reality have their work cut out for them.
They must expand humanity’s foothold in Broan space
while contending with a supply line that is 7000 light-years
long.
If the
sheer magnitude of the task isn’t enough, Mark and Lisa
Rykand discover they are in a race against two very
different antagonists.
The Broa are beginning to wonder at the strange
two-legged interlopers in their domain; while back on Earth,
those who lost the great debate are eager to try again.
Whoever wins the race will determine the future of the human
species… or, indeed, whether it has one.
