The Fleet: In the far reaches of space they are mankind’s last line of defense against hostile alien forces.
Mankind has taken one step too far in exploring the galaxy - and has run smack up against the Khalia. Vicious, weasel-like carnivores whose culture is totally different from our own. they see other sentient beings as prey - as MEAT! They take no prisoners. Ever. Just the occasional slave who will never see his home world again. It is up to the brave men and women of the Fleet to keep the home planets safe.
Meet the men and women of the Fleet, who are pledged to protect us all:
Terry English, eyewitness to a brutal Khalian raid (by Janet Morris)
