As President Enza gears up for her third election run, forces beyond her control are conspiring to bring Askelon down once and for all. Five years ago the crisis was oil—this year it’s food. A grassroots revolution on the farm planet of Agricor threatens the food supply of the entire Trimary System, as well as sixteen worlds beyond the nebula. If the rebels seize control of Agricor, literally billions of people could starve. Once again, Enza is forced to rely on Askelon’s military power, even though half her citizens oppose her.
Carlene Vargas, now working for the Askelon Intelligence Agency, is sent straight into the lion’s den, penetrating the heart of the revolution in the hope of subverting it. As she suspects, Jorge Sorres is funding the rebellion, but it’s even more complicated than that—one of the worlds beyond the nebula, Eroak, sees the revolution as an opportunity for expansion, and if Eroak gets control of Agricor they will have the entire system by the throat.
Back on Askelon, Cpl. Tyler Unruh trains for his third combat mission, which promises to be hotter than anything he’s ever experienced before. But he isn’t alone—Terra Lafirma, the Guerrilla Girl, has joined the Army and will be fighting by his side. Together they face not only hostile forces on Agricor, but a personal crisis that could rip their love apart.
If you enjoyed Starport and Guerrilla Girl, you don’t want to miss the third and most critical entry in the Starport series. The fate of the Trimary hangs on the outcome.
