Valentine and her Novas are the only known survivors of the Ski’lig occupation of Epsilon Eridani. She’s coming back, and this time an entire Alliance armada is coming with her.
The Ski’ligs capture planets and moons in a matter of weeks, leaving the Alliance in disarray. This high-tech race displays an unsurpassed knowledge of science and warfare that threatens the safety of the Alliance and beyond.
Valentine and her Novas are back in action as they defend the Martian moon of Deimos from a massive Ski’lig invasion.
The Ski’ligs are back in force, and this time they’ve brought an armada with them. Epsilon Eridani has already fallen and soon the Alliance are in full retreat back to Terra Nova, where they can rally a force strong enough to deal with the unexpected attack.
Valentine returns from the dead, and now she wants vengeance!
Valentine's last memories were of the brutal last stand on Deimos. It was a battle that costs the lives of thousands, and left the moons of Mars shattered, perhaps never to recover. Valentine lost so much more than just her life. She watched her friends and comrades fall one by one, with many sacrificing themselves in vain to stoop the onslaught until she too fell in battle. They might be gone, but a Nova never really dies. Broken and dying, she has been patched together like so many times before. Valentine has little idea of where she ends and the machine begins, and now she does not care.
