Decades of groundwork. Countless civilians abducted, experimented on, and killed. The perfect plan has taken shape, and soon, the entire sector will be under the control of the shadowy Committee.
That was the plan, anyway. But some human has decided to blow the whole thing up. What do you do when one of those pathetic little newcomers tries to ruin your plans?
Make him pay.
On the other hand, maybe you should have found out more about this "Barnabas" guy before trying that.
But it can't possibly go too far wrong, can it? Soon you'll have an entire fleet under your control. He couldn't weasel of out _that_, right?
...Right?
Wrong.
NOTE: This book contains cursing. Perhaps humorous cursing, but cursing nevertheless. If this offends you, I don't suggest reading this book.
