She may have kept her rank and ship, but the "deserved reprieve" seems more like a demotion.The elusive space pirate Norstrom may have led the world to believe he was dead, but lately it seems the dead can be killed again. Death threats force him out of hiding to seek the help of the one person he trusts, his old lover, Grosjean.As Grosjean and Norstrom join forces to ferret out the source of the threats, they discover the gruesome truths behind the destruction of a Commonwealth Corp scout ship, underhanded corporate deals, greed, and terrifying research. Before long, Norstrom's pirate crew from the Drunken Sailor, long written off as dead, make a dramatic reappearance.Will they be in time to save the galaxy from corporate criminals? Will their history hinder them, or make them work together like a well-oiled engine? And will Captain Grosjean finally figure out her life and what makes her happy. …
