In 2340 the Gelt, an alien race, attack colonies of the Earth Alliance, slaughtering or enslaving the inhabitants as they progress through the solar system. With their defenses collapsing and the invasion of earth imminent, scientists use alien DNA to genetically alter the emotionally scarred Colonial Marine Captain Morgan Ezra.
Now, in an alien body, he is sent deep into enemy territory with the task of acquiring enough intelligence to give the Alliance a chance to survive. Upon arrival, Ezra realizes the DNA used for his transformation isn’t from a low-level enemy combatant, but from the son of a high governmental official and one betrothed to the Emperor’s granddaughter. He also finds out the Gelt aren’t the monolithic entity he’d previously thought, but a race on the brink of civil war. When he’s given command of the only fleet standing between the Gelt people and a megalomaniac with visions of godhood, Ezra must decide if he wants to risk his life to save a race he has sworn to destroy.
