Star Wars meets Treasure Island in Book 3 of the swashbuckling
sci-fi adventure series that School Library Journal called "space
opera in the classic style" in a starred review, from New York Times
bestselling author Jason Fry.
For Tycho Hashoone and his family, space privateering is more than a
business--it's a way of life. Now that the Jovian Union needs their help
more than ever, their way of life is about to get a lot more
complicated.
Earth is preparing to mount an arms race, and it seems they've started
recruiting privateers of their own. Meanwhile, the Ice Wolves of Saturn
are still on the offensive, and their ruthless tactics make them look
like the pirates of old. Trapped between two formidable foes, the Jovian
Union has asked for all hands on deck--and that includes the Hashoones
and their ship, the Shadow Comet. The stage has been set for a
showdown on the Cybele asteroids, a place where neutrality is for sale
and friends always go to the highest bidder.
With so many players vying for power, Tycho will have to decide once and
for all where his allegiances lie. Because the day when his mother will
step down as ship captain is approaching fast--and the fate of much more
than the Shadow Comet hangs in the balance.
