The war in the Large Magellanic Cloud has ended and the survivors are headed home to a heroes welcome from a grateful planet. The welcoming parade is ready for their appearance and celebration is the word of the day. But before the parade can start, the Admirals of the returning fleet are called into an emergency meeting in Fleet Admiral Montana’s conference room. A colony warship has been attacked and destroyed in the Andromeda Galaxy by a religion that was forced to leave Earth a thousand years in the past. This civilization calls itself the Brotherhood and the newly established colonies that fled to Andromeda to escape the Alien invasions are in great danger if the Brotherhood discovers their existence. If that happens, the new colonies and all of humanity in the Milky Way will face the Rage of the Brotherhood.
