The Drake Equation

The famous scientific trio of Drake, Ford, and Barrett, challenged by the most ruthless aliens in all the universes, blasted off on an intergalactic search for defenses against the invaders of Earth and all her allies.
World after world was visited, secret after secret unleashed, and turned to mighty weapons of intense force—and still the enemy seemed to grow in power and ferocity.
Mighty battles between huge space armadas were but skirmishes in the galactic war, as the invincible aliens savagely advanced and the Earth team hurled bolt after bolt of pure ravening energy—until it appeared that the universe itself might end in one final flare of furious torrential power. As Earth's faster-than-light spaceship hung in the void between galaxies, Drake, Ford, and Barrett could see below them, like a vast shining horizon, the mass of stars that formed their own island universe. Whatever the problem, no matter how threatening the alien menace, the dynamic trio rise to the occasion!
