Publisher's Synopsis
Bounty hunters. Space hippies. Mind controlling squids. Alien spiders. When Jonathan Cross rescued a derilict science vessel in deep space he just thought he was doing a good deed. Now he's being chased across the galaxy with a price on his head. Between dodging bounty hunters dressed like travelers from 1800s London and escaping from a war torn alien planet, Cross has a job to do. Sure, he's a glorified delivery boy for the alien spider who has been tinkering with his head, but he is going to get the job done. Worse yet, the secrets just keep piling up. Now that the Mantis is filling up with a crew his secrets are in danger of spilling over. If Cross can survive all of this he may just be a step closer to finding a cure for his affliction.
