            When the colony worlds Adirondack and Silvern fell to the Troft forces almost without a struggle. Outnumbered and on the defensive, Earth made a desperate decision. It would attack the aliens not from space, but on the ground—with forces the Trofts did not even suspect. Thus were created the Coas, a guerilla force whose weapons were surgically implanted, invisible to the unsuspecting eye, yet undeniably deadly. And the Moreau family were the most famous of the Coa warriors. Long after victory over the Troft was achieved, the Coas made common cause against their former adversaries against a new enemy. Their reward was three planets that would be a home for the Coas, who deadly powers made them too dangerous to feel at home on Earth. _x000D_

      Now, years had passed and not everyone on the Coa worlds thought that the Coas were worth the cost of maintaining their existing built-in weaponry, let alone supporting research to improve the Coa weapons, and possibly even put an end to the negative effects of that built-in weaponry, which caused Coas to die much too young. Many who had never known interplanetary war were convinced that the Coas were not needed at all. _x000D_

      That was a grave miscalculation, because a Troft faction has decided to invade the Coa planets in force, using a new strategy that even the formidable Coa warriors may not be able to defeat . . . _x000D_
