Cobra Alliance
Zahn Timothy
When the colony worlds
Adirondack and Silvern fell to the Troft forces almost without a
struggle. Outnumbered and on the defensive, Earth made a desperate
decision. It would attack the aliens not from space, but on the
ground--with forces the Trofts did not even suspect. Thus were created
the Cobras, a guerilla force whose weapons were surgically implanted,
invisible to the unsuspecting eye, yet undeniably deadly. And the Moreau
family were the most famous of the Cobra warriors. Long after victory
over the Troft was achieved, the Cobras made common cause against their
former adversaries against a new enemy. Their reward was three planets
that would be a home for the Cobras, whose deadly powers made them too
dangerous to feel at home on Earth.
Now, years had passed and not
everyone on the Cobra worlds thought that the Cobras were worth the
high cost of providing their training and maintaining their existing
built-in weaponry, let alone supporting research to improve the Cobra
weapons, and possibly even put an end to the negative effects of that
built-in weaponry, which caused Cobras to die much too young. Many who
had never known interplanetary war were convinced that the Cobras were
not needed at all.
That was a grave miscalculation, because a new
menace was approaching, one that even the formidable Cobra warriors
might not be able to defeat..
