Keo is flying missions for the Rhouon from the Bunkhouse, their base in Probability Space. They rescued him from death on Earth, so it's all good, but for folk fighting a war, they are far too trusting and life would be easier if they’d stop making deals. The Rhouon always keep their word, but the others? Not so much.Rescuing a wolfcub and smuggling her home seems no big deal. Granted, he shouldn't have been on the planet in the first place, but hey. Pid is special, she is Wolven, not a wolf and her home is Tarsis, a living planet that keeps secrets, including Sentient Crystal a fantastic source of power.Everybody wants Tarsis' Crystal so naturally everybody is ready to double-cross everybody else. Fair enough, but throw old grudges, ambition and a murder into the mix, and Keo’s life gets complicated. No change there then.Then some fool creates a planet-eating monster.And the Rhouon unknowingly upgrade his ex into something that might just stop it.Little things become bigger things and then there's no stopping them.
