Earth abandoned the Reaches... ...and let the outer-most colony of humanity fall to the annexation and occupation of the alien Vixx'r race, and without even putting up a fight. Now with the systematic stripping of the region of all its precious resources, there's as much resentment towards Earth as there is for the aliens. This fact only complicates the latest mission of former navy Captain Robert Kincaid, who's been tasked with creating a pirate force strong enough to disrupt Vixx'r operations throughout the region. The best he can come up with are the rebels, renegades and criminals of the Reaches, along with a few scrap starships cobbled together from a fleet of derelicts. It's not much, but it will have to do. However, what everyone underestimates is the overpowering need for Human Beings to be free, whether from the oppression of tyrannical alien overlords or from betrayal by members of their own race.

And along the way, Captain Kincaid discovers a diabolical plot that could ruin the chances of Liberation for his homeworld...the prospect of peace with the aliens Captains Malicious is a non-stop rollercoaster ride of space battles, political intrigue, betrayal and bold, heroic deeds.
