Commander Jonathan Radec is a man desperately trying to escape from the
mistakes of his past. Now the owner of Vanguard Shipping, his primary
concerns are trying to keep his ships flying and his crew alive.
However, the shadowy Syndicate organization has set their sights on the
commander and his business, having sent a beautiful assassin to kill
him. To make matters worse, she's become the target of his infatuation,
much to the dismay of his ex-girlfriend. Recently elevated to president
of the Confederation, she's still very much in love with him and capable
of making his life a living hell.
Surrounded by a galaxy beginning to tear itself apart, with enemies on
all sides, he's now also unwillingly tasked with trying to save the
Confederation--for which he has little regard. Jon has little going in
his favor, except a crew consisting of the elite of the old Imperial
Navy, all of whom would fight to the death for him, and a past that
possibly makes him one of the most dangerous men alive.
