Total War - Paperback

War is coming. When it arrives, everyone must choose a side.

It seemed impossible, but Leon and Sam managed to gain enough allies to match the power of the conquest-driven Ordeon Empire. Armed with new ships and technologies, they finally confront their enemy to draw a line in space. People are not tools to be used in some grand scheme, and they'll defend their rights to the bitter end.

Defeat is a new experience for Max, but he will not give up. His enemy is revealed, and he is intent on completely destroying them. He will use political deals and tactical strikes when possible, but he won't hesitate to slaughter them all to ensure the empire reigns supreme.

As the war spreads, rumors of a new threat entering from outside known space begin to surface. Whole planets go dead with no explanation. Neither side cares to act until it is too late. When the new danger comes to them, their differences pale in comparison. No one knows if any will survive the coming fury.

This action-packed, military combat-focused story keeps graphic descriptions to a minimum while asking readers to consider how both sides can have noble goals yet work against each other. It is told from both sides of the conflict to show opposing characters struggling with similar questions. Fans of Babylon 5 will enjoy the multiple storylines woven throughout this book and the remaining installments. The ending will satisfy readers, but the fight will continue with the next book in this series.
