TWO mismatched crews. ONE universe at risk. NO superheroes.
Nivala's youngest crewmember remains in great danger. She has already endured treatment that nearly broke her defiant spirit, but her priceless mental link to the Chakran aliens has made her the most sought-after asset in the entire galaxy.
The Flatlanders haven't overcome their greed. They still covet the Chakran ability to unlock spacetime and will do anything to get it. First, though, they mean to exact revenge - and Nivala is at the very top of their list.
As a resigned Mallivan and his battered shipmates struggle to prevent appalling harm, their alliance of misfits transforms into a tightly-knit team of friends who discover what selfless bravery really is.
... Because everybody knows two ships are going to WAY too few.
