  • MacKenna
  • -
  • former
  • submarine
  • captain;
  • life-long
  • knight-errant
  • who
  • fought
  • to
  • preserve
  • civilization
  • through
  • the
  • horrors
  • of
  • the
  • Collapse;
  • Admiral
  • of
  • earth's
  • tiny
  • space
  • fleet
  • during
  • the
  • Contact
  • Crisis
  • -
  • dead
  • man.
  • His
  • skills
  • were
  • desperately
  • needed
  • to
  • face
  • a
  • crisis
  • beyond
  • anything
  • the
  • Concord
  • could
  • cope
  • with,
  • so
  • the
  • Ic'nichi
  • brought
  • him
  • back
  • from
  • the
  • dead.
  • What
  • they
  • expected
  • was
  • a
  • slick
  • finesse
  • move
  • that
  • would
  • counter
  • the
  • overwhelming
  • power
  • of
  • the
  • mysterious
  • alien
  • attackers.
  • What
  • they
  • got
  • was
  • a
  • man
  • haunted
  • by
  • seventy-five
  • years
  • of
  • bloody
  • nightmares
  • who
  • knew
  • every
  • trick
  • in
  • the
  • book,
  • who
  • would
  • play
  • their
  • game
  • his
  • way,
  • and
  • who
  • wouldn't
  • quit
  • -
  • no
  • matter
  • what.The
  • Ic'nichi
  • -
  • Human
  • Chronicles
  • take
  • a
  • dark
  • new
  • turn
  • in
  • this,
  • the
  • Second
  • History
  • Of
  • The
  • Interstellar
  • Concord.
  • The
  • time
  • is
  • twenty
  • years
  • and
  • beyond
  • the
  • events
  • of
  • the
  • First
  • History.
  • Relations
  • between
  • the
  • Ic'nichi
  • and
  • humans
  • are
  • fairly
  • stable,
  • but
  • now
  • both
  • races
  • face
  • new
  • challenges
  • from
  • beyond
  • the
  • stars.
  • A
  • human
  • colony
  • is
  • under
  • attack
  • by
  • aliens
  • with
  • awesome
  • firepower.
  • Fearing
  • their
  • advanced
  • technology,
  • the
  • Ic'nichi
  • bring
  • the
  • human
  • Admiral
  • Brian
  • MacKenna,
  • who
  • commanded
  • earth's
  • tiny
  • space
  • fleet
  • during
  • the
  • Contact
  • Crisis,
  • back
  • from
  • the
  • dead.
  • His
  • mission:
  • to
  • save
  • the
  • defenseless
  • colony
  • which
  • is
  • being
  • systematically
  • destroyed.
  • His
  • chances
  • for
  • success:
  • zero.
  • His
  • probable
  • reward:
  • to
  • disappear
  • as
  • mysteriously
  • as
  • he
  • arrived.Trapped
  • by
  • his
  • deeply
  • ingrained
  • sense
  • of
  • duty,
  • hapless
  • pawn
  • of
  • interstellar
  • intrigue,
  • and
  • doubting
  • his
  • own
  • identity,
  • Mac
  • is
  • grimly
  • determined
  • to
  • save
  • the
  • colonists
  • rather
  • than
  • have
  • their
  • destruction
  • on
  • his
  • conscience.
  • His
  • only
  • weapons:
  • seventy-five
  • years
  • of
  • combat
  • experience,
  • and
  • his
  • own desperation.
