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.
Jack's only chance at saving the space-time continuum is to track the kidnappers, and the device by taking down a stream of black ops teams. All while maintaining a tenuous cease-fire back at New Atlantia.
