The race is on! The Prism's Echo has unlocked an endless expanse of alternate realities for Scotty and the Starananians, but the question remains - do those parallel universes cease to exist the instant the book's ancient cover is snapped shut? That's a question Emperor Scotty can't seem to shake, and the fate of his friends in the Nazi controlled universe weighs heavily on his mind. He and Gloria ponder what might have happened to the rebels, and their imaginings are nothing short of extraordinary. Four tense, but quiet years have passed for the rebels since they captured the Nazi Space Port, and Captain Brooks wonders when the inevitable retaliation will come. As the station's supplies and energy draw near to total depletion, hope comes in the form of a mysterious and evidently abandoned alien spacecraft floating dead in space. Called the Rimcha, Brooks hopes to salvage the alien vessel and incorporate its resources into those of the rebellion. But there's a problem; the Nazis have spotted the alien ship too, and now the race is on to see who will capture the vessel first. If it's the rebellion, Earth may finally be liberated, but if it's the Nazis, any hope of further resistance may be crushed forever.
