They+re young, they+re fast and strong, and they+re totally without normal human qualms.The universe is a dangerous place for humanity-and it+s about to become far more dangerous. Three races that humans have clashed with before have allied to halt our expansion into space. Their linchpin: the turncoat military scientist Charles Boutin, who knows the CDF+s biggest military secrets. To prevail, the CDF must find out why Boutin did what he did.Jared Dirac is the only human who can provide answers-a superhuman hybrid, created from Boutin+s DNA, whose brain is uniquely able to access Boutin+s electronic memories. But when the memory transplant appears to fail, Jared is given over to the Ghost Brigades.At first Jared is a perfect soldier, but as memories surface, he begins to intuit the reasons for Boutin+s betrayal. As Jared desperately hunts for his -father,+ he must also come to grips with his own choices. Time is running out: the alliance is preparing its offensive, and some of them plan worse things than humanity+s mere military defeat . . . .
