You are a security officer, sent to the Marathon from a human outpost on Tau Ceti to take up your station. Upon reaching the marathon you find it under attack from an unknown alien race called the Pfhor. Whipping out your trusty magnum mega class and feeling some kind of deja vu, you proceed to enter a dense plotline of three computer AI's fighting back an alien attack. But where did these alien slavers come from? Which of the AI's can you trust? Is it too late for the Marathon? Will the base on Tau Ceti survive even if you do/don't? etc etc.
To give you a run down of M2 would only spoil Marathon. But throughout the series there are recurring questions about everything from whether the AI's are completely sane to just 'who' you (as the security officer) are.
