The galaxy has again become a battlefield between two powerful interplanetary powers. The war of the totalitarian Syndicate and the democratic Alliance are waging a war that, it seems, has no and will never end. The forces of the opposing sides are approximately equal, but their strategy and tactics are strikingly different. Complete success so far that no one will be able to achieve... But the people of the Alliance were unexpectedly lucky. The Allied fleet, which set off and raided the main planet of the Syndicate, discovered in the rescue capsule the legendary commander of the beginning of the war, Jack Geary, a warrior whose very name sounds like a curse for the Syndicate. At the hour when he almost the entire Alliance fleet was captured by the enemy, and most of the commanders were killed. Jack Geary will have to become the head of the remnants of the army, fight - and win. Is this impossible? But doing the impossible is the daily work of a military leader.
