Joe and his team pushed themselves to their limits to stop a Komran invasion force from getting a foothold in their galaxy. But moments after the victory cheers were let out, they realize that the attack they routed was not the end game. This was only the beginning. Instead of retreating, the Komran launch an assault on Odin, one of the garden planets in the system that was blitzed in the surprise attack. While it started as simple revenge, the alien empire sees an opportunity to strike and sends an armada to reinforce their forces in the system.

Subtlety is a game Joe is capable of, but he always preferred a more hands-on approach.

After intercepting the Komran battleplans on his last suicide mission, Joe gets the request to take on the most challenging mission to date: diplomacy.

Curiously, the hostage-takers are not searching for the ore within.

The council believes the barbarian has done well so far. Why not risk his team’s necks first and see how it goes before scheduling that assault? Joe and his team must make their way to a planet that has been under Komran control for decades.
