It is 2474, and the Moreau family reigns supreme throughout Aventine, but unrest is growing in the Cobra Worlds Council.

And now there is a new threat. Jasmine Moreau, granddaughter of the legendary Johnny Moreau – the original Cobra – has made known her desire to become a Cobra fighter. But no woman has ever been accepted into the Academy – or ever will be.

Then a project arises for which she alone is qualified. Her mission – to infiltrate the planet Qasama's growing space capabilities. But her shuttle craft is intercepted by the hostile Qasamans and, suddenly, the interstellar balance of power itself is at stake.
