Plot Summary
In 3045, an invasion force of the Capellan Confederation approaches Tikonov.
The story jumps back and forth between Duke Aaron Sandoval II planning, preparing, and joining the defense of the planetary capital Tikograd against the Capellans and Colonel Wallace Glynn of the Third Federated Suns Lancers, who is sorting out the results of the battle later that day. Glynn has lost contact with Sandoval in Tikograd, and therefore leads his forces towards the city. After arrival he eventually finds Sandoval among the numerous fallen of the battle, his head largely gone.
Although the Capellans could be repelled in the end, they succeeded in killing Duke Sandoval.
