On a moonless night, Beau Lomax was fifty-five feet underwater on a Spanish treasure wreck that didn't belong to him when the seabed suddenly lit up bright blue and sucked him down.
When he popped back out, he was lying on a metal floor with a parrotfish stuck down his dive vest, and it was three thousand years later...
Beau runs a charter boat in Key West. Well, he does when the tourists come down in December. For the rest of the year, though, he mostly just owes people money. This time, it's eleven thousand dollars to a man who breaks knees for a living, and that's how come he was robbing a 1622 wreck off his best friend's boat.
Now, though, he's the only human being left alive... well, anywhere, and the star system he's landed in is run by cats. It turns out, humankind died out thousands of years back, and the felids who've inherited all their stations remember them as the Openers, because they used to open the doors and the tins. Most of their old tech still will only work for a human hand. So Octavian, the Duke of Rime, who fished Beau up through his wormhole, has put a two-million bounty out on one Opener. Male. And delivered alive.
Beau escapes from the Duke on Old Scratch, which is a broke salvage tender part-owned by Juno. She's the ginger medic who fitted a black-market lace into his skull so the two of them could actually talk. Natalya's their pilot and the Duke wants her back as well. And then there's Calla, the Duke's hunter, who wants the bounty, but also has her own views about a rare man.
Beau's never been good at doing what he said he would. But he's a diver in a galaxy where no one will go near the water, which, if he plays it right, might just be enough to keep him out of the Duke's collection.
