As another of Earth's colonies, Ross 128, secedes from the union, the President of the United States, former marine major Alexander Moore, takes swift action to prevent a second American Civil War, this time on a interstellar scale. He sendsthe flagship of the U.S. Naval fleet through the Quantum Membrane Teleporter based in the Oort Cloud to the seceding colony. But Tau Ceti  Separatists have stationed their own teleporter there and the flagship will be met with heavy resistance from the separatist Navy. And, unknown to the president and first lady, their eighteen year old military school cadet daughter has been kidnapped and whisked away to the Separatist leader's house on Tau Ceti.

Only the heroics and sacrifices of one good solider after another can save the flagship, the Union, and the first daughter in an all-out winner-take-all showdown that reaches it final climax with frenzied hand to-hand combat in the Oval Office itself.
