Life ain't easy for a pilot in the Void. An easy score turns into a whole lot of trouble, and the race is on to unload some very problematic cargo. Captured by pirates in his beat up chimera, Maurice "Moss" Foote is having a bad day, until he gets a lead on the gig of a lifetime. Easy pickings, if his crew doesn't mind doing a bit of pirating themselves, which they probably will. But one tiny lie might get them on board. What's the worst that could happen? Roy Herzog is having a worse day. He's crossed paths with the Silver Legion, the organization he deserted to become a pirate. Unfortunately, the Legion does not forget, and does not easily forgive. But there might be a way out, perhaps even a shot at revenge against the pilot who nearly killed him. A pilot who flies a chimera.
