Hauling cargo across the vastness of space requires a level-headed lunacy most ship'rs have in spades. Ship'r Bax was no exception; a former bandit turned to the legal, more profitable side, she holds her own against the myriad of hazards the job typically entails. But this particular cargo run is turning out to be almost more than she can handle, and it has nothing to do with what's in her pods. Strange electron 'jitter' and whispering bulkheads are driving everyone, including her own AI, half out of their ever-loving mind. Throw some missing ship'rs to the mix, and now things are getting complicated. Cultists, lawmen, and ethereal screaming top off the ever-growing list of reasons to curl into a tight ball of misery, but none of that is stopping Bax. To her, the only way out is through. And she's dragging everyone along with her, willing or not.

Join Bax and her hitchhiker Daniel as they travel to the edge of mapped space on a rescue mission that promises to be one they'll never forget. Even if they wish they could.
