He was banished from all intelligence work because his mentor, running for president died in a prodigious boat explosion. Now his old boss is calling Captain Loftus back into action. But going back into action means seeing his lost love from years ago. In the shadows are beings not of this world.

In a magnificent odyssey, Tom Loftus and Zach cross the Intergalactic Passageway connecting Earth with the planets of humans. Awaiting them are other worlds, vast armies, and Sard, the Vargut Emnas now the leader of the Creod Realm. The final battle as predicted in the ancient writings, the Saba, determines the fate of harmony and balance versus the Inner Vengeance of the Death Empire.
