Opis

In another part of the galaxy there is an artificial world called Beltaria. It is inhabited by an entity of vast intelligence, and a cadre of androids and robots that serve him. He is the Galaxy Keeper, and his subjects know him only as The Emperor. He was created by an ancient species that once inhabited the galaxy, to rule on their behalf. His mission is to maintain order and to preserve peace in the galaxy. He is immortal, and is served by a theocracy that believes their creators are gods and that they rule the galaxy by divine right. The Emperor has the power to destroy entire star systems inhabited by any species that he sees as a threat to his mission. The Galactic League has new technology acquired as a result of their earlier encounter with the Emperor. Alpha team fourteen, who went through the Crystal Pyramid and met the Emperor, has a new ship that is much faster than the old one, vastly increasing the extent of space that can be explored. They also have a new mission: to find the other ten species that they learned of when they were on Beltaria. The explorers discover five species inhabiting a region of the galaxy almost 200 light-years from League space. They are shocked to learn that these newly discovered cousins are involved in an interstellar war. They also discover that the war has not gone without notice by the Emperor who has already decided to destroy over a hundred star systems in order to put an end to the war by exterminating the species involved. Amanda, TJ and the rest of the team find themselves in a race against time as they try to establish relations with these newly found cousins, bring an end to this awful war, and prevent the Galaxy Keeper from using his power to end billions of innocent lives.
