Book excerpt: The peace of the galaxy is shattered when the planet Toran explodes, an intelligent civilization driven instantly to extinction. The cause of the explosion is traced to a "naked starship" from the Alternative Alliance-a starship traveling faster-than-light without a gamma ray surge dissipater. Is this a tragic accident-or the first salvo of a doomsday war? Station Post One is alone in the middle of a mounting interstellar crisis. The problems are mounting up. Crew members are abandoning their duty and fleeing across the galaxy. Commander Damon Kramer, now dealing with an aggressive brain tumor caused by the Thermians, must find a way to prepare his small and vulnerable station for the coming war-despite lack of resources, malfunctioning equipment, and his own impending death! The galaxy is turned on its head, the alliance with the Community unraveling, and everything you thought you knew about the Voyage Into the Unknown universe may be a lie...in a cataclysmic and shocking COUNTDOWN TO WAR!
