The Earthforce Saga Continues into Volume #27 When the plot devised by the North American and European Regents ignites a new conflict between the Home World and the Confederated Colonial Stars (CCS). Now both sides gird themselves for a renewed civil war, which Earth begins with an invasion of Mars under General Hawkins.
With Earthforce landing on Olympus Mons in a surprise attack to seize the capital ‘Olympus City’ there, the Martian Marines fall back towards the Labyrinth of Night, where they hope to confound and delay the attack of the 82nd Air Mobile division while more Martian forces are called to arms.
When the Regents launch a plot to remove the president of the council, and with him Karpov as EF Fleet commander, Karpov resigns in anger and then offers his services to the CCS. In the meantime Earth lands a second division, the 101st Air Mobile in the Argyre impact depression on Mars. It then drives north towards the long Marineris Valley, which holds 75% of the total population of Mars. Now Earthforce faces off against the Martian Marines.
Disgusted with the new war when he is forced to destroy ships that once fought for him, Karpov asks Fedorov to take the Flag TF back to the Pleiades. Then events take a darker turn at Atlas-Prime, when Fedorov has a bad accident, and later on Mars where Aurielle seeks to join her people there to honor her duty as an Amazon. The dark hand of death reaches for major characters now, while an enigmatic collector of ancient artifacts meets the Ivexian Slaver Lorcha and cuts a deal that will have ramifications he can scarcely imagine.
