War has come to Concord. Now no one and nowhere is safe. When indestructible warships and dimension-tearing weapons are not enough to defeat the enemy, how do you protect thousands of worlds and trillions of citizens from a Rasu tidal wave bent on devouring everything in its path?

In the year 2077, the world was just beginning to emerge from the aftermath of a disastrous but limited nuclear war that left it disunited, scarred and at risk of further calamity.
