Adam Cain has pursued his nemesis Nigel McCarthy to the Milky Way's sister galaxy-The Large Magellanic Cloud-using the revolutionary technology of the concentrated-array gravity-drive. This is virgin territory for the Humans-an entire galaxy that knows nothing of the special abilities of the people from Earth.
Adam's troubles begin with his very first planetfall in this new galaxy, when a coalition of aliens band together to steal Adam's starship-The Pegasus-so they can learn the secrets of his exotic gravity drive. Without his ship, Adam can't complete his mission-that of eliminating the evil Nigel McCarthy once and for all.
Yet Adam's mission is further complicated when another one of his old enemies shows up-the former leader of the Expansion Kroekus of Silea. The alien has come to The Cloud to fulfill his desire for power and control in a galaxy that's defenseless against the forces from the Milky Way. It's a study in political intrigue, tactics and strategies, and how an entire galaxy can be thrust into war by a few individuals with universal-size ambitions.
