Book 2 in the Cobra War Trilogy! 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 Cobras, 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 Cobra warriors. Now, years have passed, and many who had never known interplanetary war are convinced that the Cobras are no longer needed. That was a grave miscalculation, as a Troft faction has decided to invade the Cobra planets in force, using a new strategy that even the formidable Cobra warriors may not be able to defeat!
