About This Book

A former star pilot, left with a synthetic hand after a crash that ended his command, carves out a place as an Out-Hunter on the galactic frontier and capitalizes on a consequential discovery on a newly surveyed world. Seeking patronage from a powerful, secretive Veep, he negotiates a high-stakes proposal amid ritualized displays of influence and guarded surveillance. The account balances action on newly opened planets with the protagonist's struggle for dignity and livelihood, exploring exile, resilience, the lure of exploration, and the political maneuvers that determine who controls access to opportunity in the settled and wild reaches of space.
