With the planet's fighting men and women deployed across the galaxy—battling in the noble cause of enslaved humanity—the insidious Xul have reached across space to devastate the unsuspecting Earth with asteroid fire. Without warning, a once majestic world is reduced to near-rubble—and the very future of humankind is in dire jeopardy.
Interplanetary leaders are on the brink of abandoning Earth and its colonies to an overwhelming enemy. But Brigadier General Garroway of the Marine Interstellar Expeditionary Unit is unwilling to concede defeat—not as long as there's a single marine willing to give his or her life in defense of their embattled homeworld. The ultimate battle is about to be waged—with breathtaking new attack technology, an ancient code of courage, and the help of an ally race that once inhabited the Earth—in a war that will alter the universe forever . . .

"Great book. This was I think even better than the previous 5 books. There was more background and then the final part of the book was a true page turner."
— Ralph (5 out of 5 stars)
" Both trilogies are a good read...lots of action and interesting speculation on how technology will affect humanity. "
— Steve, 7/15/2013" I like the idea that humans go out into the Universe and kick ass on galactic bullies. "
— Harry, 6/4/2013" Like the last two books in the series, this is candy, but nice candy. Aside from one part where the writer confuses which of the two characters whose last name is Galloway he is writing about (or rather, which experiences each had had), it was decently written. Just... nothing special at all. "
