The year is 7200 A.D. The Specials have controlled the galaxy for nearly 2000 years with near-immortal power and savage brutality. At the soul of the empire is the militaristic state of Earth'and one man with the courage to destroy the will of the inhuman oppressors dares to raise the flag of rebellion. That man is Hawk Hunter. In the middle of a fierce battle with the Imperial forces, Hunter suddenly finds himself alone. His badly damaged fleet has vanished'gone through a portal to another dimension. They can lay low, rest, make repairs, and build their strength for the next assault. But the enemy also finds the portal, and it leads them to a different dimension where they discover powerful and deadly new allies. Now Hunter must undertake his own interdimensional search for support, because when the portal re-opens, the battle that follows could destroy not only the rebels and the Empire, but also the entire galaxy.
