Gateway HD 36951 lies in ruins.  All survivors slaughtered.  A single, truncated message sent back to Earth.  Something very bad indeed is afoot, and the A.S.S. Vorpal Blade (read: nuclear submarine converted to warp-drive space ship) is sent to investigate.  But the ferocious, voracious enemy Dreen wait for no man (or other carbon-based lifeform), and the Blade and her crew are soon the only hope for an alien species pushed to the brink of extinction.  Turn back and abandon a new ally or face a heavily-armed Dreen destroyer head on? 

 

For the Blade's rough-and-ready crew, it's no contest.  And now, with an infusion of technical know-how from humanity's new ally, chaos itself has become a weapon!
