eBook Description: While it was "inspired" by international events it extended those into the far future when a tough President ran up against some rather powerful aliens! It, interestingly enough, stands up today as a prime warning to any political power which might underestimate the enemy and play it black & white hard line! Any similarity between this story and recent events may be strictly intentional!

The opposition is well aware of this from the last offensive they made on Kartion III. Our positions, hard held, will continue to be held at all cost! It is our opinion that talks will begin in a very short time, We are, after all, winning!"
