Plot introduction
Approximately 30 years before the beginning of the novel, a small group of alien refugees (later termed the "Gurus") landed on Earth and soon made themselves indispensable with their contributions to human technology and scientific understanding. In exchange, they "requested" Earth's help in repelling the hostile invaders (termed the "antagonists" or simply "Antags" or "Ants" who had chased the Gurus from their own star system, and were already establishing a beachhead on Mars. The narrator of the novel is Sergeant Michael Venn of the multi-national force of "Skyrines" (spaceborne Marines) sent to Mars.
