Tamara Samair, now a free agent in the Seylonique star system, is looking for time to relax, a place to rest from the relentless pressure of her job. Malcolm Wellesley proposes a wager, one that would give her considerable engineering talents a focus, and would provide stability and, just as importantly, monetary gain for them both.
Elsewhere, the Warlord Verrikoth is gearing up for a conflict he knows is coming. The Republic has sent out a punishment fleet and he knows it is only a matter of time before it arrives. He strives to have everything ready in time to greet them... properly.
And far away from both of them, it is discovered that the pirate gang known as the Kingslayers have a secret, a game-changing secret that could spell doom for independent star systems across the Argos Cluster. Only a short time remains before they will be able to unleash this secret and rise to new heights of terror.
This is a new era of change for factions within the Argos Cluster and it remains to be seen how the pieces will fall.
Genre: Science Fiction
