Alexander Carlyle, the son of the legendary commander of the Gray Legion of Death, together with veteran mercenary Davis McCall, goes on reconnaissance to the planet Caledonia. The uprising instigated there by Viceroy Wilmarth is the first stage of a criminal operation whose goal is to discredit or destroy the Gray Legion of Death. What decision will Grayson Carlisle make? After all, according to the contract, his unit, which has an impeccable reputation, is obliged to suppress the uprising. But at the same time, thousands of innocent people will die, and perhaps Grayson’s son, who took the side of the rebels.
