Cobra Strike: Timothy Zahn

Book II of Cobra. If anyone had told Jonny Moreau the Cobras would one day take orders from the alien Troft, he would've laughed humourlessly. He'd lost too many friends in the Troft war, though the Cobras triumphed in the end. Now the Troft were trading partners - and they feared what might be a mutual danger. A new, tenacious and ruthless race threatened human space as well as Troft. The offer was territory - five new planets for the overcrowded Cobra Worlds. Jonny's son Justin would carry the Moreau name to danger, and learn on Qasama that it takes more than a Cobra father to make a Cobra son. Cover art by Eddie Jones.
