Steal a ship. Con a crew. Profit... unless the past comes calling.
As a smuggler and con man, Reece Lochlain has always taken care of himself first. When the captain of his latest ship gets busted and everyone but Lochlain takes the fall, he does what he's always done, looks after himself and moves on to the next scheme. There's just one problem. An entire criminal ring blames him for the bust and is hungry for payback.
Out of money, contacts and time, Lochlain is desperate to escape and start fresh somewhere new. CSV Zanshin, though old, looks to be a sturdy ship and Lochlain can get her for a steal. With an entire star system after him, he jumps at the chance to sail the aging cargo vessel from her graveyard orbit. He's confident he can get away if he can just find the right crew.
But the Zanshin seems to have her own ideas. She's far from her original home and has a haunting story to tell, one that could risk the lives of everyone aboard her.
