The most decorated soldier of the Old Federation boarded a sleeper ship with his wife. He awoke a thousand years later, the Federation gone and Earth a radioactive mess.
Director G.T. Titus inserted an obedience chip into his brain and sent him on a secret mission 800 light-years away. On a distant planet, he broke the programming, smashed the chip, and remembered that he was Force Leader Marcus Cade of Battle Unit 175. Now, he's heading back to Earth to find his wife. If Director Titus tried to use her as well... The problem is that Marcus becomes entangled in life-and-death issues as Dr. Halifax betrays him to enemy intelligence, mutants take him captive, and a cyborg lurker from the War is secretly hunting him. It's a nightmare out here, the galaxy a deadly, treacherous place. But no one is ready for Marcus' unique code of honor or ferocious way of dealing justice. Heaven help anyone getting in his way as he searches for his wife.
