From internationally published author Gordon K. Jones comes this action-packed saga of interstellar Love...and War. In the mid-2100s, a new mineral, Expelerite, is discovered on Mars, capable of producing an unlimited supply of clean energy. Soon, Mars is settled. The European Federation and United North America are the first to arrive. The Zhong appear years later, taking over an expanse of territory on the opposite side of the planet, but soon discover it lacks the abundance of Expelerite that the other factions possess. Their response? Attack and conquer the UNA. Squadron Commanders Neco Cooper and Martian-born Zully Candor are part of the UNA's military space force. When the Zhong attack, they and the rest of UNA's squadrons are tasked with defending Mars Station, the UNA's military installation above the planet, as well as Artemis City below. The two commanders, when not flying with their teams, are busy back on the station trying to start an exciting new life together. First though, they must protect their station, defeat the enemy, and save the planet.
