For Colin MacIntyre, it began with a routine training flight over
the moon. For Dahak, a self-aware Imperial battleship, it began
millennia ago, standing guard against an unknown enemy which once
devastated the galaxy-and now has returned. So Dahak grabbed
MacIntyre's ship and informed him that he was drafted to be its new
captain and lead the fight against the ancient enemy.
MacIntyre had doubts that he could handle the job, but Dahak had
definitely picked the right man. Before it was all over, MacIntyre
would:
" Defeat a cadre of mutineers, formerly part of Dahak's crew,
kept alive through untold generations by alien technology, who have
been secretly manipulating life on earth for thousands of years . .
.
" Mobilize the planet into a fighting force that might have a
slender chance of stopping the ancient alien menace from
eradicating all intelligent life in its path . . .
" And resurrect the ancient galactic empire, which had fallen
into chaos and barbarism, with himself as Emperor-which meant that
he immediately became the target of a plot to assassinate him, and
strand his son and daughter on a planet where their chances of
surviving in a superstitious pre-tech society would be zero for the
average human . . .
Fortunately for the galaxy, Colin MacIntyre and his heirs have
never even heard of average, and anyone, human or alien, who got in
their way was going to be very, very sorry.
