Opposing forces wrangle for control of the planet and its orbital shipyards, which berth a portion of the FedCom's mighty WarShip fleet. The Eighth Regimental Combat Team—loyal to Archon Katrina—refuses to turn over control of the planet to the militia. Caught in the power struggle between supporters of Katrina and those of her brother, Victor, McCarthy vows that he won't fail the people of his homeworld, even if that means leading his untested MechWarriors against the Eighth's superior firepower—and dredging up a past he'd rather forget... |
