The crew of the Svartulf have fulfilled their latest mission and left Cotopaxi Planetside, en route to the Orbital station. But why did they recover one of their old enemies at their former commander’s request and where are they taking him next? Will the cargo rat that passed on the original mission objectives have the destination details? Where the hell is he? How many others know about the wrecked alien craft they discovered on the planet and why has the Corporate money man, Davon Creelicks, hitched a ride to the orbital station? And, who was it that planted the bomb aboard the ship’s boat prior to take off?
Business as usual for the crew of the Svartulf with more questions than answers; life at the edge of human space gets ever more complicated and unpredictable.
