David Varton has turned mad and has a score to settle: his relatives were killed by a nuclear attack on Earth, prompting him to join the Space Corps to pilot a space interceptor. Fighting furiously from bases scattered across the solar system, the Space Corps pilots are to divert the continuous attacks by an alien race that cannot be communicated with, and capture enemy ships so that the secret of faster than light travel can be unravelled, in the hope that scout ships could be sent out to identify the enemy system. But once the alien planet is located, it is found to possess characteristics that require an initial attack with a stealth airplane which Varton alone is small enough to fit in. Having just found a new reason to live, can the affection of his beloved help Varton resist High Command's efforts to make him accept a mission that could win the war?
