CONCLUSION TO THE COBRA REBELLION TRILOGY
Cobras: technologically enhanced warriors bred to fight an alien menace no ordinary human can withstand.
Once the Cobras fought the implacable alien invaders, the Trofts, to an uneasy stalemate. But in recent years they have faced an enemy more insidious, the oppressive regime known as the Dominion of Man. Now, the Cobra Worlds find themselves under the boot heels of the Dominion, forced into what amounts to slavery, living under martial law. But two clans of Cobras—the Moreaus and the Brooms—will not stand idly by and let the Dominion run roughshod over their home worlds.
Now a threat from without looms. The alien Troft are again planning an attack. Before, they came to conquer. This time they’ve come to annihilate. If the Cobras are to survive, they may have to do the unthinkable: align themselves with the hated Dominion.
Cobras are not known for taking the easy path—and this may be the hardest path of all. But If the Cobras can manage to avoid complete destruction or abject slavery, a new day may finally dawn on the Cobra worlds. The day of Freedom.
Book nine in the Cobra series and the conclusion of the Cobra Rebellion trilogy, from #1 New York Times best-selling author Timothy Zahn.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Zahn fans will enjoy the variety of small-unit combat scenes in the action-packed third and final Cobra Rebellion military SF adventure (after Cobra Outlaw), but newcomers may have difficulty picking up the story. Cobras are elite human warriors with various implants that give them advantages in combat against the alien Troft. At the outset, the members of the Broom family of Cobras are scattered across several worlds and vessels, in conflict with both Troft forces and those from the neighboring interstellar empire known as the Dominion of Man. Lorne Broom and his mother, Jin, are on the Cobra planet of Aventine, under Dominion martial law; his father, Paul, has already been captured by Dominion forces. His sister, Jody, is travelling in interstellar space on a stolen Dominion vessel while his brother, Merrick, is on the planet Muninn, avoiding Troft from one demesne while working with Kjoic, a Troft from another. Zahn follows each Broom as they learn that the Cobras are mere pawns in plots by both the Dominion and the Trofts. Many questions are left unanswered at the conclusion, which will no doubt lead directly to further novels in this gripping series.
