Book Synopsis

Earth is rising in the House of Voltar . . . And there'll be hell to pay! That's right. The invasion is on . . . and it's coming soon to a galaxy near you. The action couldn't be hotter, and the plot couldn't be more diabolical. Earth is coming to Voltar--and the Voltarians won't know what hit them.

Murder, blackmail, drugs, psychoanalysis, PR firms, sex-crazed teenyboppers, riots in the streets, women in chains. These are the powerful secret weapons of war--perfected on Earth and imported to Voltar--which are now being exploited by the ruthless Lombar Hisst, chief of the Coordinated Information Apparatus (the infamous CIA). His obsession: total domination of the Voltarian Confederacy.
