What starts as a hunt for survivors turns into a battle for survival.
Ben Benjamin and Cara Carlinni defied the megacorporations and saved a colony, but now they are wanted criminals. Murder, terrorism, armed insurrection, hijacking, grand theft and kidnapping are just the top of a long list of charges they'll face if they're caught.
So they'd better not get caught.
They take refuge on crimelord-run Crossways with their team of renegade psi-techs and a stolen jumpship. They've promised to find a missing ark ship carrying thirty thousand cryo-frozen settlers, but to do that they have to confront old enemies and face new challenges - including interdimensional dragons in foldspace.
Alphacorp and the Trust; separately they are dangerous, united they are unstoppable. They want to silence Ben and Cara, and if they have to kill a million people on Crossways in order to do it, they can live with that. In fact, this might be the excuse they've been looking for.
