Apollo, Starbuck, & Sheba discover a lone survivor of a horrendous crash. From the beginning, this man, Count Iblis is an enigma to the members of the fleet. With seemingly unlimited supernatural powers, he is both charming & dangerous; bringing both havoc & hope to the Galactica. The fleet is being pursued by strange, white lights or ships that move at incredible speeds. Only the Count knows who they are but will not share the information with Commander Adama.

Sheba is completely under his spell & agrees with the majority of the fleet that they should give complete allegiance to Count Iblis, while Apollo has complete distrust of him & his intentions. Will the Count bring deliverance or destruction? There is an exciting climax that answers everyone's questions. A very quick read, fun escapism!
