The Company took their crystalline trees, their heritage, and drove them from their home. Now Lord Dragoon is finishing what they started, eradicating all Strays from the system. He knows his destiny... Lives for it... Kills for it... And may just die for it! Captain Scrycher is of 'tainted blood,' and despised by both kinds. A smuggler and thief, he will do anything to get what he wants. Now he wants to take it all back! A run down ship, a makeshift Gatling gun, a diminishing crew and a pesky little insect dragon called Blink. Is it enough? Can he rise up against The Company and make them pay for their crimes? You will be on the edge of your seat, but Dare to Blink and it may all be gone!
