When an aging smuggler shows up begging for help, Patch and the Sparrowhawk crew sail into uncharted space to salvage a valuable wrecked ship. The ship is there waiting for them—but so are the dangers of trackless space, pirate raids, warring worlds, and the menacing presence of the derelict ship's dead crew. A tightly plotted, action-packed thrill ride. Indiana Jones meets Firefly in the second book of the space adventure series. “Strap in and enjoy the ride. It’s like getting a second life to experience a career as an interstellar smuggler!”—Douglas Phillips, author of Quantum Space .
