Twenty-four years have passed since Toller Maraquine led the population of Land to the sister planet of Overland. Somehow, those left behind have become immune to the deadly pterthacosis which caused the exodus, and their voracious ruler now lays claim to Overland. Grudgingly put in charge of his planet's defence, Toller designs a front-line force of spaceships and satellites made of wood, which will engage the enemy fleet in the cold vastness of space, before the invaders can set food upon Overland. As the war proceeds, a far more deadly, alien menace makes itself known, which will threaten the entire existence of Overland.

From where had it come? The first ever space junk elimination mission encounters a badly damaged object not manufactured on planet earth. Who could have made it? What was its purpose? The mission changes. Secrecy is suddenly imposed. Is this the first alien object found or are the rumours about previous encounters true after all? The chance of our civilisation making contact with another is unimaginably tiny. If we sent a message to a neighbour today it could take years to arrive. Would the neighbour be home to receive it? Their civilisation may not begin for millions of years or might have died a billion years previously. For us to make contact, not only does the neighbour have to be intelligent and technologically advanced, already a remote possibility, but they also need to have a civilisation at the same time as us. The window of opportunity is tiny. This story tells of just one such attempted communication.

Science fiction and the United States military often inhabit the same imaginative space. Weapons technology has taken inspiration from science fiction, from the bazooka and the atomic bomb to weaponized lasers and drones. Star-spangled superheroes sold war bonds in comic books sent to GIs during World War II, and adorned the noses of bombers. The same superheroes now appear in big-budget movies made with military assistance, fighting evil in today's war zones. A missile shield of laser satellites--dreamed up by writers and embraced by the high command--is partially credited with ending the Cold War. Sci-fi themes and imagery are used to sell weapons programs, military service and wars to the public. Some science fiction creators have willingly cooperated with the military; others have been conscripted. Some have used the genre as a forum for protest. This book examines the relationship between the U.S. military and science fiction through more than 80 years of novels, comics, films and television series, including Captain America, Starship Troopers, The Twilight Zone, Dr. Strangelove, Star Trek, Iron Man, Bill the Galactic Hero, The Forever War, Star Wars, Aliens, Ender's Game, Space: Above and Beyond and Old Man's War.
