Ali and Jim, backed by Trigger, Jim's dog, some brilliant scientists and military, battle to keep her free. But they are out-numbered and out-gunned by Jano's FTL Battle Cruiser right overhead.
If Earth's scientists can get a Hyper-space radio working to communicate with the Emperor though that would take a scientific break-through, then just possibly he might get there in time. But all that seems impossible.
