A quiet, peaceful man finds himself directly immersed in the battle of his life-not necessarily because of his direct participance, but as the primary body host of all the fighting. At least three active persona locations exist within this one host body, but eventually, many more from other host bodies will answer the call to battle. Captain Shadow-Claw is left to act as the only common focus point that all the different persona leaders seem to trust. He must fight to protect all persona existences against the exponentially growing dark corruption that is trying to become the dominant and permanent controlling resident. But how will the newly accepted member of the Interstellar Alliance Forces take responsibility for all these forces while under the command of a ten-foot-tall female dragon flight admiral? And will this middle-aged warrior realize his real power and do what is necessary to stop a headlong crash toward total annihilation?
