April 30, 2033—the day World War III erupted in the open. Across Europe and Asia, the fragile illusion of restraint shattered as missiles, drones, and armor surged forward in coordinated fury.

When Earth and Mars capitulate to the Thrang Harmony, the asteroid belt becomes the last place humans can still resist. Admiral Trelnor answers that resistance with retribution—a cold, surgical campaign meant to erase Earth’s remaining strength and purify the Belt in one decisive sweep. Out beyond the inner worlds, Mike Stone and his patched-together Belter allies do what the Thrang can’t model: improvise.

Corporal Liam Wardell of the Colonial Alliance Marines was raised from birth to fight in that machine. His mission: take the war to the enemy.

Led by Captain Reeve Calder, they are a collection of broken legends kept in a drawer labeled 'IN CASE OF NIGHTMARES'.

Defection. Once it starts, the flood gates open as Imperial troops sent to the Frontier to die for the Emperor suddenly see a chance to survive by hopping across the border into the Green Empire. The mass civilian exodus was bad enough, but when the Emperor's own fleet starts doing so in alarming numbers only a bit of trickery on the part of the Emperor is going to lead to victory before he loses too many ships to the growing sanctuary of sanity that is the Green Empire.
