Counter strike

Rear Admiral Lavrov almost achieved his goal, at least that’s what it looks like.

The subspace portal prototype has been successfully tested, the hypergate program has been approved by the President, and the Earth Federation has got a new ally.

But the ally is weak, and he needs protection more than he can help the humans.

Time is against Lavroff.

He understands that the quargs have found an effective means of countering the Federation’s new weapons and are preparing a large-scale offensive.

Lavroff has no doubt that the enemy will strike before the hyperportal is built.

Despite a severe lack of time and misunderstanding of the top military leadership, he is preparing two operations at once – the defense of the Federation planets and a counter-attack.
