In the third book of the 'We Are Too Many' saga, Henry Murphy yet again finds himself in serious trouble with Earth Society. For a third time, he falls from the highest levels of power to being an outcast and a Resistor. However, there are benefits for him, for he finds much more than Society could have ever given him. He discovers that the very best things of life do not arise from personal power, or the praise of mankind. And, as the situation on Earth deteriorates, an alien presence is again key to the survival of humanity.
