Greg and the team encounter opposition to their plans by the US Government. They decide going to the UN might start a nuclear war, so decide to move to the moon, and work directly with the people of the Earth. Abraxis learns that Greg knows he hid the discovery of the Abraxis Code from the Rangers. Greg orders all knowledge of the code to be classified; even from their new allies. Is that really the way to start an alliance?
I have said in a review from another author's book, that most governments on earth would look at killing to get their hands on new technology. The American government would be one of the worst at this. They think that all things must be under their control for the good of the world. I think the author portrayal is very close to the truth.
