The Xortaags are back, and they’ve conquered the Akakie homeworld. If they have enough time to reverse-engineer all the advanced technology they can find on Kanoor, they’ll be undefeatable, and they won’t stop until they’ll have colonized the rest of the galaxy, starting with Earth. To make matters worse, an even more sinister threat is looming in the darkness. Unknown to our heroes, a time-travelling alien fleet is on its way to our neck of the galactic woods.

Daisy Linden and her sister, Frederica, arrive by airship in Santa Fe, capital of the Texican Territories, determined to search for their missing father. But two surprises await them - the authorities' baffling refusal to help and a not-so-chance meeting with snake-oil salesman William Barnicott. To their joy, the Lindens find that their father has indeed been seen in Santa Fe. To their horror, it was an assignation with a cancan dancer in the dead of night.

The Xortaag fleet outnumbers the humans’ five to one, and using their mind-control machine, they can use all the Earth’s military forces against their own kind. The Xortaag colony ships are only a few weeks away, and when they arrive, they'll wipe out the human race to have space and resources for their people. And as if all this wasn’t bad enough, General Planetary Genocide Maada has just laid a trap for the Earth fleet and decimated a large chunk of their forces. To make things worse, an even more sinister threat (yeah, more sinister than the Xortaags) is emerging 1500 years in the future.
