The motley crew of the indomitable Captain Raymus, the anthropomorphic outlaw Gorilla McGraw, and the wily bounty hunter Jett battle their way across the war-torn moon of FR-1 in search of the deathly promised Confederate treasure. In the atmosphere of the gas giant Bor, Admiral Lorna Holden fearlessly leads her fleet into the shadows of combat. As the civil war between the deep colony's denizens challenges their fortitude beyond reason, intervention by outside forces threatens to change the landscape of the Far Reaches forever.
