The Gamadin adventure explodes in Book III. Homesick and eager to find a date and catch a few waves, Captain Harlowe Pylott and his new Gamadin crew are minutes from touchdown, when their homecoming is interrupted by a distress call that sends them on a perilous journey light-years from Earth. The empire that crushed Neeja, the planet he made a solemn vow to save, is now on the verge of seizing the entire galactic quadrant. The only things that stand in its way are the Gamadin, the love of a girl, and a lone ship from the distant past.
