It doesn' t seem as if things could get any worse. As if that weren' t bad enough, it looks like the authorities already suspect something is afoot, there' s a saboteur aboard, and the Icarus appears to be shaking apart at the seams. The ship, Icarus, turns out to be a ramshackle hulk, the ragtag crew literally picked up off the street, and the cargo so secret, it' s sealed in a special container that takes up most of the cramped and ill-designed ship. But this time he may have taken on more than even he can handle. Caution has never been one of Jordan' s strong suits.

So when Jordan and his partner, Ixil-an alien with two ferret-like 'outhunters' linked to his neural system-are hired by a mysterious gentleman to fly a ship and its special cargo to Earth, they jump at the job. In order to survive, Jordan ekes out a living dabbling in interstellar smuggling for outlaw concerns that represent the last vestiges of free trade in the galaxy. Unfortunately for him, the iron-fisted authority of the powerful Patthaaunutth controls virtually every aspect of galactic shipping.

Jordan McKell has a problem with authority. From Timothy Zahn, Hugo Award winner and 'New York Times' bestselling author of two landmark Star Wars(R) series, comes an original new tale featuring a renegade space pilot, his unusual alien partner, and an unknown cargo that can change the course of galactic history.
