Rebellion erupts on the "paradise" planet of Elysia, plunging the colony into chaos. In response, the all-powerful United Earth dispatches its elite corps of cyborg soldiers, led by Aaron "The Berber" Barber. For a hero celebrated galaxy-wide for his acts of bravery against alien hordes, a ragtag group of colonists with antiquated weapons should be no challenge. But Barber and his soldiers are unprepared to meet the most dangerous enemy yet--humans just like them.
