The human race was at a huge and risky war with an alien race which was more like the insects. The first few battles went poorly and the planet Earth then prepared itself to defend against the threat which was of destruction. This threat came right at the hands of an enigmatic enemy of the alien race. All of the focus that time was on the training and development of the generals who could fight in such a tough war. The matter was not just about fighting the war, but it was more about winning it.
The defenders of the Earth had one hope and that was the long distance between the interstellar space. That provided them with the time to train their future commanders right from the time of their childhood. They were trained in the Battle School which was a high orbital facility. The strategy and war tactics were the only curriculum and purpose of that Battle School.
The novella lasts for almost two and a half hours and you will be thoroughly entertained for all this time. Thanks to the great writer and great narrators of this book for making it such a huge success for the followers.
