Millennium State: Act of War

Long ago the galaxy was torn apart by the Great Cataclysm. Humanity was scattered. Now a single group of humans dominates known space and within its borders peace reins. But at the fringes, on the Frontier, constant war rages as the Union struggles to repel Barbarian Remnants and savage aliens. Here, as an uprising led by the Republic's only alien members threatens to destabilize the whole, Commando Nathan Drake is dispatched to learn what involvement his nemesis ' the man known only as the Iron Scorpion ' has in the conflict. Yet the danger lays not merely on the Union's borders; at its heart conspirators threaten a greater revolution: one that might see the very end of the Republic. The race is on, across distant worlds and the depths of space, to learn the truth and discover the threat from humankind's most ancient enemy.
