Book Opening:
Sidhe flung herself outward from Olympus’ orbit, clear of the remaining vessels of the Olympian Self-Defense Force.  Clear also of her supposed allies in the Confederate Navy.  The warship carried the badly injured Robert Fenaday, former privateer and now unwilling agent for Confederate Intelligence.  His mission on Olympia had been to bring down the government of Denshi, the genetically engineered assassins dominating the planet and rescue the first Confederate force sent to kill Jalgren Pard, head of Denshi.

Fenaday, weary of war and loss, knew his supply of luck was overdrawn.  His wife, Commander Lisa Fenaday had disappeared in the Conchirri War, along with her scoutship, the C.S.F.S Blackbird.  Selling off his family’s shipping line, he’d taken to the stars, searching for her.  All he found was empty revenge on the Conchirri.
