The future of Mars is in the balance. After failing to stop a devastating Union attack, ace pilot Roland Horn finds himself with millions of lives on his conscience. With both sides Mars Fleets out of commission, the Wildcard Squadron is transferred to the Asteroid Belt, a front quickly shaping up to be the most important. A Union dominated belt means millions of Tharcian civilians will be cut off from the homeland, and the forces on Mars will be cut off from the raw materials and fuel they need to win. But there's a battle lurks on the horizon, one in which Roland's superiors hope will put a stake in the heart of any future Union offensives. With millions of lives on his conscious, and millions more at stake, Roland has a decision to make. Become a hero, or become a memory. Which will it be?
