To compensate for their frailty they have invented the "Tech Jacket," a vest that every Geldarian is equipped with upon birth. Each jacket grows and matures with its host, specializing in tasks that the host will find most useful. A fully developed Tech Jacket is considered to be one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. Zack Thompson, through an event of sheer chance, has come to possess a Tech Jacket of his own. Now it appears that the fate of the entire universe rests on his shoulders as he learns that with infinite power comes infinite responsibility.

What will Zack do when his transport is attacked by a platoon of Kresh soldiers; who have been at war with the Geldarians for decades? Will he help his captors in a fight for their lives or allow them to perish and in doing so, strand himself in deep space with no way of getting home?
