About This Book

The narrative follows Frane Lewis, a hired triggerman who seizes a small space freighter by murdering several crewmen and binding the remaining officer. Confident that accomplices will board later to claim the cargo and share the profit, he dons a webbed undergarment and bulky suit to survive exposure while he waits. The wounded navigator warns that the conspirators may betray him, and when Lewis opens the ship's air valves the carefully planned piracy begins to unravel, forcing him to face the immediate and fatal consequences of his violent scheme.
