He prefers the term \u003ci\u003efinder\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e His latest job should be simple. Find the spacecraft \u003ci\u003eVenetia's Sword\u003c\/i\u003e and steal it back from Arum Gilger, ex-nobleman turned power-hungry trade boss. He'll slip in, decode the ship's compromised AI security, and get out of town, \u003ci\u003eSword\u003c\/i\u003e in hand. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fergus locates both Gilger and the ship in the farthest corner of human-inhabited space, a backwater deep space colony called Cernee. But Fergus' arrival at the colony is anything but simple. A cable car explosion launches Cernee into civil war, and Fergus must ally with Gilger's enemies to navigate a field of space mines and a small army of hostile mercenaries. What was supposed to be a routine job evolves into negotiating a power struggle between factions. Even worse, Fergus has become increasingly--and inconveniently--invested in the lives of the locals. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It doesn't help that a dangerous alien species Fergus thought mythical prove unsettlingly real, and their ominous triangle ships keep following him around. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Foolhardy. Eccentric. Reckless. Whatever he's called, Fergus will need all the help he can get to take back the \u003ci\u003eSword \u003c\/i\u003eand maybe save Cernee from destruction in the process.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuzanne Palmer\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning and acclaimed writer of science fiction.
