About This Book

A powerful Jovian ruler coerces a condemned outlaw into a high-risk salvage mission by promising to spare the outlaw's companions if he retrieves legendary jewels from a crashed alien ship. The narrative follows their tense bargaining, the outlaw's forced escape from captivity, and the preparations for an interplanetary voyage to an uncharted hulk, as questions of trust, loyalty, and survival complicate the quest. Action and suspense drive the plot through treachery, chained prisoners, brisk planning for a secretive raid, and the lure of immense treasure, all set against a backdrop of harsh political control and frontier danger among the planets.
