Janus Owens, ex-cop, successful private investigator, was unexpectedly summoned by a government official with a request, a request that specifically asked for his investigative services. Apart from the government involvement, what made this request unusual, was that it came from a system far from the boundaries of Confederated Planets controlled space. Shrouded by rumors and myths for centuries, the Golstar system had remained an enigma. Now, after three hundred years, Confederated Planets received the strange request. For what purpose had the long-held silence been broken... and why had Owens been requested by name? Owens, along with a cantankerous A.I., would travel to Golstar to discover the long-held secrets of the human inhabitants of this puzzling star system.
