General Shuos Jedao awakens and realizes that everything is not as he remembers. He recognizes himself as a young cadet, but in a body that is decades older. The body of the most terrible and hated person in the galaxy. Hexarch Nirai Kujen commands Jedao to re-conquer the regions of the collapsed Hexarchate. But Jedao doesn't remember himself as a soldier, let alone a general. All his experience is that of a first-year cadet and a player of military video games. And the Kel officers continue to hate him for the massacre, which he does not remember. Kujen, despite all his ostentatious friendliness, is a tyrant. And worst of all, Jedao and Kujen are being hunted by an unknown enemy who knows more about Jedao and his crimes than he himself...
