The Eve of Legend: 2

Some enemies are foreign. Some enemies are domestic. Sometimes-they're both. A race of enigmatic extraterrestrials is on a collision course with humanity and humanity's allies. No one knows where they come from-and every probe sent to try to learn more about them has been lost. Their true technological capabilities are unknown to even the best in the Union Intelligence Agency and its extraterrestrial likeness. Harold Forester, the Director of Union Naval Intelligence, knows more than what he has led the U.S. government and other Union governments to believe. Is he the only one? The extraterrestrial Intelligence operative, code name 'Spike', was the last to have encountered them-and survived. What little Intelligence he was able to bring back has resulted in the formation of The Union's first Shadow Teams, led by Daniel Storm, in anticipation of what may be to come. Vice Admiral Raty has a plan for the Shadows. To save himself and all that he holds dear, Daniel is forced to blur the line between his professional and personal life and cross an even deeper interstellar threshold onto battlefields unlike any that he has previously fought on that will push the Shadows beyond their mortal limits-where there may be no coming back. The Union's very foundations are about to be tried.
