From Hugo Award-winning debut author Suzanne Palmer comes an action-packed sci-fi caper starring Fergus Ferguson, interstellar repo man and professional finder Fergus Ferguson has been called a lot of names: thief, con artist, repo man. He prefers the term finder. His latest job should be simple. Find the spacecraftVenetia's Swordand steal it back from Arum Gilger, ex-nobleman turned power-hungry trade boss.

What was supposed to be a routine job evolves into negotiating a power struggle between factions. Even worse, Fergus has become increasinglyand inconvenientlyinvested in the lives of the locals. It doesn't help that a dangerous alien species Fergus thought mythical prove unsettlingly real, and their ominous triangle ships keep following him around. Foolhardy. Eccentric. Reckless.
