For the last 6 months, Marine Private Westermann has been stuck guarding a hyperspace entry point on the very edges of colonized space. A hyperspace point that no unauthorized ships ever come through. Because the planet she's guarding is somewhere no sane person would ever want to visit. And then a suspicious cargo ship arrives, bringing with it a storm of death and destruction. Outnumbered and outgunned... Her ship destroyed... Her backup days away... And the only place to hide is the most feared planet in colonized space... Private Westermann's bad day at work just became the worst day of her life.***HIGH STAKES ACTION-ADVENTURE FROM THE AUTHOR OF THIRD CONTACT AND EVENTIDE
