The future of space exploration has arrived, driven by corporations, rather than governments, many of them owned by China. The billion degree plasma engine, 3D spaceship manufacturing, and organic computers, are about to open up the entire solar system to the human race. The world is filled with hope for the future, while behind the scenes corporate competition has created a dangerous environment in space, which has been covering up a much more sinister threat. As China prepares to launch the General Sun Tzu, the most advanced space ship ever built, by humans, the Americans investigating the Cydonia sites on Mars have unknowingly awoken an ancient technology. Laying dormant for countless millennium, left behind by a Race fleeing a cataclysm, never intended to be re-awoken. An alien intelligence storms back to life, reacting to all human presence as an invasion, blaming that presence for the condition of a ruined civilization, targeting the source of that invasion, Earth. Only as the General Sun Tzu and four other ships enter the atmosphere of Mars, is a final message from the Cydonia sites received and understood, too late to warn them. The attack is devastating, destroying the four ships with only the General Sun Tzu surviving, with significant damage. The remaining humans on Mars wake up to a terrifying new reality, as an alien intelligence, bent on vengeance, hunts them down, and prepares to attack Earth, with nothing but the pride of China standing in the way!
