Now the Achuultani are returning, but Dahak is powerless to take action because his crew mutinied 50,000 years ago, and the mutineers still secretly control Earth's governments and military forces. (Not a spoiler - all this is in the first few pages of the book!). The Earth will be destroyed unless the mutineers can be defeated! Excellent military SF. This is the third time I've read this book, and I've enjoyed it enormously every time. Highly recommended.

I have also enjoyed this one enough to read it multiple times.
