Centauri Prime declares war on the Interstellar Alliance in Book
Three of the epic trilogy that continues Babylon 5''s brilliant
legacy . . .
Blind to the fact that he is a pawn in the Drakh''s deadly
strategy, Centauri prime minister Durla launches an overwhelming
blitzkrieg, sending Centauri warships to devastate other races''
homeworlds and pave the way for total conquest. Yet
Durla is forced to fight a war on two fronts. Even as he
mobilizes the massive space fleet for its glorious attack,
resistance leader Vir Cotto works feverishly to counter the
Drakh''s evil influence on Centauri Prime.
Emperor Londo Mollari possesses the key that can reveal the
presence of the Drakh, but to do so would spell disaster, so he is
forced to remain silent. But when the Drakh bring
another pawn into play--David Sheridan, son of Alliance president
John Sheridan--the time for silence may be past. If Vir
and the Resistance are to prevail, it will be only through action,
and with help from very strange allies . . .
