内容简介：
A new age. A new era in which those who fight lose more than the battle when the war has just begun. The place, System First Light, sets the stage where the first world unlike our dying Earth has been discovered. We branched and began to colonizea]until they attacked. For the first time humankind learned that we are forever not alone. And I, Captain Herold Rochemburg, lie asleep while awake, fearless in mind, commanding officer to a fighter squadron that I have learned to understand and respect. I am fearful outside, where loss is like rain rolling off of my shoulders. This is my story, my prelude, and one hell of a ride.
