Faith's gone; a gazillion light years away. Rico's got a choice. Keep fighting or give up. With a greater evil on the horizon in the form of Resh Baldori, it would be easy to throw in the towel. Acquiesce to his constant chants. You will love me. Everyone will love me. I have come to save you. At least Rico's not alone in his decision. Star's right by his side along with some new players in his quest to set the world back on its moral axis. But will it be enough to overcome the power of contentment? Baldori's found a way to restore all that was lost by the wicked Pro-Em, including perfect clones for all who died. Ah-but we know what they say about perfection; it's an illusion. Before earth becomes yet another notch on Baldori's fine leather belt, Rico and his friends must determine if humans are worth saving. At least he's certain one girl is, but she's an alien. Keep the Faith, earthlings… she's got your back.
