Greylorn - Paperback

Greylorn is a book written by author Keith Laumer. The book presents a story of "Desperate measures may be in order, and if anyone asks that each of you in forming a conclusion remember that our present situation can only be described as desperate". Although the commander's voice was low and leisurely, it was authoritative and carried well. Members shifted uncomfortably in their seats. Then the character does not have enough manpower and raw resources. The small improvements in effectiveness have been progressively offset by increasing casualties and loss of territory. In the end, alone, we must lose, the story says. The location of the Omega Colony is unknown, he said. Omega was our nation's final colonial endeavor, two centuries after the others. The task group should be given the responsibility of building a 50,000-ton scouting ship and performing an exhaustive survey of a volume of space centered on Omega. The scout in the story will proceed along the Omega course line as known to us from the observations which were carried on for almost three years after its departure Commander: There is no hope in that direction.
