| For eons, countless races have feared the godas, planet-sized doomsday
machines that could destroy all time and space. But no one has ever dared
unleash their awesome power … until now. Brock, dire-lord of the Held, is the only man alive who knows where the godas are hidden. As his empire crumbles, he vows to activate the godas – no matter what the cost. But Brock has a rival: Colonel Kezi Falmah-Al of the ruthless Colonids. She, too, seeks the godas, to further her dreams of conquest. |

I also delved into the issues of conscience, weapons of immensely destructive capacity, and what kinds of tragedy are inevitable when such power falls into the wrong hands. |
