A system on the brink of galactic war...After the colonization of Mars and Europa, it took us fewer than five generations to reach beyond our solar system and discover new planets capable of supporting human life. Too far away to be governed under Earth law, the Collective was formed. Several hundred years later, the Collective has expanded to a thriving system of six inhabited worlds, but power struggles are common, and a seemingly inevitable interplanetary war looms on the horizon. Itβs nearly impossible for the working class to make ends meet. An old space captain hounded by arthritis and war memories, Aramis Reyne struggles to make enough credits to feed his crew and keep his ship flying by running mail and supplies to the farthest, most dangerous reaches of the Collective known as the fringe. When heβs offered a no-questions-asked contract to pick up a package, he jumps at the opportunity. But when a warship captain steals the package, Reyne discovers a galactic conspiracy involving military leaders, a secret organization, fringe rebels, and piratesβ¦with Reyne's crew stuck in the middle. Now it's up to Reyne to break the conspiracy wide open. If he fails, the entire Collective is at stake.
