As far from explored space as any human has ever been, Admiral John "Black Jack" Geary and the Alliance fleet are on their own, protecting a diplomatic mission in territory belonging to an alien species with still-unknown motives. Presented with orders to carry out actions he believes not only are mistaken but would be contrary to the ideals of the Alliance, Geary has to decide whether he must invoke the power that his long-revered name holds, even though this might endanger his entire fleet, tear apart the Alliance, and destroy everything he has fought for.
