Military discipline and honor have been a poor match for Capt. Wilson
Cole's life of pillaging and plundering. Seeking a better way of life,
the Teddy R. has become a mercenary ship, hiring out to the highest
bidder. Whether it's evacuating a hospital before war can reach it,
freeing a client from an alien prison, or stopping a criminal cartel
from extorting money from a terrified planet, the crew of the Teddy R.
proves equal to the task. Along the way, they form a partnership with
the once human Platinum Duke, team up with a former enemy, and make the
unique Singapore Station their headquarters.
The life of a mercenary is not always predictable. Circumstance now pits
Cole and the Teddy R. against the former Pirate Queen, Valkyrie. Soon
the fragile trust that has grown between these two legends is put to the
test as they find themselves on opposite sides of a job.
