Long after Earth's conquest by the alien Ryqril, humanity's one hope for freedom lay with the Blackcollars – the fearless taskforce of guerilla superwarriors. But time was running out...

Backlash, the secret drug that turned ordinary troops into the highly trained Blackcollar soldiers, had been used up. Unless Allen Caine and his commando team could discover where the formula was hidden, there would be no new generation of Blackcollars to carry on the battle against the tyrannical Ryqril.

One spot on Earth had been pinpointed as the possible source of Backlash – Aegis Mountain, an impregnable fortress. And Aegis was in the heart of Ryqril-run territory. Even with the aid of the last surviving Blackcollars, could Caine evade the enemy long enough to take on the challenge of the deathtrap called Aegis Mountain?
