In this chapter, Linsay prepares an audacious and unconventional military assault on Spartacus by using rocket-propelled bombs and a heavily armored assault tank to breach the outer defenses of Detroit. Meanwhile, Krantz coordinates a strategic countermeasure by dispersing the cosmic-ray shield, sacrificing a division of Spartacus's army to weaken the enemy and buy time for Linsay's operation. The chapter highlights the desperate and innovative tactics employed in a high-stakes battle within the Hub.
