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

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,
who deadly powers made them too dangerous to feel at home on Earth.

Cobras were worth the cost of 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.
