War is looming. Flight Sergeant Jack Klingerman gets the call.

Teamed up with Ally, a human consciousness in a concierge bot-body, he heads out to New Atlantia in the Federation's boondocks where he finds two sides ready to blow each other apart.

Resolution can only come when he can retrieve a kidnapped scientist and a Zero-Point Energy generator: a piece of tech capable of accidentally ripping a hole in the universe.
