This novel is a sequel to MIGHTY NOSTROMO and is the sixth novel in the Kostroma Series. Its actions take place during the early 24th Century, when Humanity has finally been able to break out of the Solar System and is now expanding through the habitable star systems close to our own system. The armed merchant ship NOSTROMO is being completed at the Avalon Space Yards and is due soon to replace the mighty KOSTROMA, Captain Tina Forster’s glorious ship, destroyed when it rammed a monstrous alien ship and saved Humanity and many other races from a horrible fate at the hands of those aliens. However, how many more such alien ships are still roaming the galaxy? Where are they from? Will more alien ships threaten Humanity?
