Synopsis ~
The Solar Queen is in real trouble. They’ve just
saved thousands of lives in near disaster and are on the way to cash in on
their newfound hero status with some profitable trade. But when they drop out
of hyperspace and almost crash into a deserted ship, it’s all they can do not
to become a wreck like the one they’ve stumbled across. Luckily, the Starvenger
has just enough fuel to get both ships to the nearest s pace habitat. But a
crooked syndicate of bureaucrats takes an interest--and a series of treacherous
misadventures follows. An ultra-violent clan of aliens would put an end the
Solar Queen's journeys. Stumbling upon an abandoned ship, Captain Jellico and
the crew of the Solar Queen seize the prize and claim the right to salvage the
derelict vessel, only to become the targets of a secret alien hijacking ring
out to sabotage their claim.
