Imperial Intelligence couldn't find them, the Imperial
Fleet couldn't catch them, and local defenses couldn't
stop them. It seemed the planet-wrecking pirates were
invincible. But they made a big mistake when they raided
ex-commando leader Alicia DeVries' quiet home work,
tortured and murdered her family, and then left her for
dead. Alicia decided to turn "pirate" herself, and stole a
cutting-edge AI ship from the Empire to start her
vendetta. Her fellow veterans think she's gone crazy, the
Imperial Fleet has shoot-on-sight orders. And of course
the pirates want her dead, too. But Alicia DeVries has two
allies nobody knows about, allies as implacable as she is:
a self-aware computer, and a creature from the mists of
Old Earth's most ancient legends. And this trio of furies
won't rest until vengeance is served.
