Once he was the cream of the Colonial military, commanding a team of infamous Rocket Troops with dozens of successful combat missions to his name. Troop Leader Windrush was hoping to retire from service gracefully with his reputation intact but he's ran out of time, his Planet is scheduled for terra-scorching and he's being pursued across the galaxy by the Earth Evacuee Space Force that's been hunting him down for over six decades. In his youth he was the poster boy for war, the deadliest Rocket Trooper that ever flew and he basked in the glory and accolades. Not counting his time in Cryo-sleep, Windrush is turning fifty-five and war is a young man's game. Haunted by the hellish brutality of war and riddled with doubt of his current capabilities and degrading fitness. His health is failing him, but his heroic status makes him too important to the war effort to be allowed to watch from the sidelines. He desperately needs to stay alive long enough to get his nomadic colony to safety on planet LHS 475 b (only 41 light years from Earth). But can he do it before his own colony uncover his deadly secret?
