Jet Rusco, black market arms dealer and hustler, faces off against the Star Lord: warlord, magician, psychopath. With each new conquest, the Star Lord uses ruthless force to terrorize colonized planets via his fleet of hi-tech warships. He sends bounty hunters after Jet Rusco who has stolen an alien device critical to his operation. A dark secret lies at the back of the Star Lord's plans.

Jet Rusco's far future world of colonized planets must wake up to the impending reality of a new order, more cosmically cruel than all that ever ruled by space thugs and warlords throughout time. Yet time is running out for Rusco, and the fragile freedom of the last few sovereign planets. Can he and his quirky crew of allies band together and thwart the greatest villain this century has ever seen? A gritty thriller full of space battles, dark secrets, macabre twists and peril.
