Description
Earth is gone, blown to bits in battle with the alien Sejiedi. Now the remnants of humanity fight on, in uneasy alliance with the Galactic League--their only purpose to avenge their world, their only pride the Honor of the Wing. But League politics will not tolerate pride in a refugee people, and the White Wing is under insidious attack. A powerful enemy attempts to brand one unit of the Wing as traitors, discrediting the entire human race. But the Honor of the Wing is not so easily compromised.... "A powerful story by a strong new talent." --Gordon R. Dickson "A clever, dynamic plot filled with intrigue, danger, and surprises." --Locus
