Set in Mantic Games's Warpath Universe, this is a fully rearmed and reloaded edition of the novel first published by Mantic.

When ruthless aliens invade an apparently backwater world, Drakenhof Marine's best troops are sent to repel them. But they are not the only parties interested in Acreon: the Council of Seven has despatched an elite team of Enforcers led by Lieutenant Commander Roca to investigate. Why has Acreon been targeted by the Veer-myn? Who is paying for its defense? And what secrets are hidden beneath the planet's surface that, if uncovered, could threaten the stability of the galaxy itself?
