The year is 2260, and the galaxy hovers on the edge of war...
The Resistance is a thin line of defense for the free star systems of the Borderworlds. The strip of former colonies is a shrinking boundary between the Earth-controlled Drilin Imperium and the Epsilon Alliance, two superpowers locked in a cold war a hundred years old. The border is a no-man's land home to billions living under the constant threat of Imperium invasion, a place where the Alliance dares not intercede for fear of sparking all-out war.
Aaron Taylor knows what's at stake when he volunteers to join the Resistance. The son of an Imperium general, the Alliance-trained military spy's existence can be officially disavowed at a moment's notice. It's work that's already cost him everything he holds dear--including his beloved partner of seven years.
He comes to the Resistance as a man with nothing left to lose at a time when the Resistance needs men like him the most. Without more able hands, the Borderworlds and their defenders are doomed.
Torn between duty to both, when the chips are down, which will Taylor choose: the Alliance that made him, or the Resistance that made him its own?
