Deceit, Adversity, Affliction

A swift acting extremely deadly virus of pandemic proportions is sweeping across and killing untold numbers on Pollux, a member planet of The Alliance of Planets.

At the same time Capt JT Buckton and his warship Pegasus, DSC-01, are "ordered" back to Transcia and Lutens, but this time they are to lend assistance to the always treacherous Translutens who have been invaded by the Hamates, a mind-reading species bred strictly to be warriors.

Things get really interesting when Fleet Admiral Jensen lends the untested Mongon race of "metal people" to assist Capt Buckton's 2nd excursion into Transluten space. When "Murphy's Law" once again makes its presence known, things don't turn out like expected. Intense space battles, land battles, deceit, destruction and death reign supreme in this space sci-fi thriller!
