The adventures of the Intrepid Force continue in this second volume of the series. The attack on Venus Base had been stopped. Corbalew's plan had been defeated, but that was only beginning. With only a single ship outfitted with nightmarish technology unknown to late 21st century science, Corbalew had been able to destroy Venus's defenses in a matter of minutes. Now an armada of these ships has surrounded the Earth and rendered planetary defenses useless. Still weary and healing from their last battle, the Intrepid Force struggles to understand the mystery of the phantom fleet and, if possible, to find a weakness. Who or what is Gogue, the mysterious warlord who leads the invasion? He claims to be the Antichrist, a figure from Christian prophecy, but is he really? Aided by Neema, a young woman who claims to have come from a dark and terrible future, the Intrepid Force works to unravel the mystery and free their world before Neema's future becomes their own reality.

Powered by high-octane imagination and youthful energy, the members of Wise's Intrepid Force are faithful friends on a wild and winding journey that takes readers from the crumbling buildings of the New Orleans French Quarter to the parklike pressure domes of Venus and into virtual reality. The danger, the love, and the friendships are so believable that you feel like you've taken a journey with a group of your best friends. The author's religious beliefs and Louisiana heritage are subtly woven into tapestry of the drama.
This novel was born on Ray Bradbury's Mars, baptized in water from C.S. Lewis's Narnia, and educated at Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Children. It toured the galaxy with Captain James Kirk, spent a few nights in Stephen King's haunted houses, hung out with the Teen Titans and the Legion of Superheroes on the weekends, and took a few more joyrides through space with Han and Chewy aboard the Falcon. It was raised in the small downs, historic cities, bayous, and forests of Louisiana and that's where it grew to maturity. I hope these charactes will be friends on your own journeys in this universe and others.
