The alien, the exile, the outsider.Together, they've worked openly as hired guns throughout the Pirate Worlds, fighting for lost causes, and for each other.

His raiders have already cut the colony off from resupply and now his agents are fomenting unrest between the human and Tahni populations in an attempt to destabilize the planetary government and take over.While Sandi and Ash hunt down the raider ships in the asteroid belt, Fontenot and Kan-Ten take on Jordi's allies and pawns among the humans and the Tahni. On Brigantia, they encounter old friends and older enemies...the trick will be deciding which is which.Don't miss the explosive finale to The Acheron military sci-fi series.
