Publisher's Synopsis
"We're undah way!"
The Zaporozhian is in dire straights. After encounters with Titus the Man and Commander Kristian Grimaldi, the crew finds themselves up against a living, breathing station that's hell-bent on adding them to its grisly collection.
Meanwhile, the Confederacy has reorganized. With corporate interests now definitively dominating the political landscape, everything in civilized space has changed. President Van Buren plans to run humanity as he sees fit, sparking a militant response from the Outer Alliance.
Somewhere in the lost sectors of space, an ancient enemy of humanity reawakens. Their purpose a mystery, their power infinite, and their connection to the crew of the Zap, life threatening.
With lightyears of unknown danger in the path of the Zaporozhian, the Draconid, and the Arcadia, one has to wonder...
Who can skirt fate long enough to reach THE EMERALD STAR?
