Whilst vacationing and taking a rare break from his colleague, Saltair is brutally assaulted by a mysterious assailant, and kidnapped.
There is no motive, no ransom and seemingly no motivation for the abduction.
When Krenik discovers an ion trail from the enemy vessel, he tracks down the kidnapper only to realise that he and his partner are in the most deadly situation they have ever faced.
They are prisoners of a rogue Decimator.
Devour this stand alone tale as we discover if this is finally the end of the road for Saltair and Krenik, or if the disease ridden mind of their Decimator captor can be used to craft an unlikely escape.
