Training is over for Crineal. No longer a cadet, he is now a pilot officer in the Imperial Space Corp. His destination is the Strike Carrier Ragnarok, where the mythical General Sarclax awaits. It is here that Crineal can make his name, with a little luck and a lot of skill. Here is where he will make the rebels start paying for the death of his family.... Or maybe see his own death in the unforgiving void of space. The frozen depths will be the forge that makes or breaks him.
