Or would the job of Rangering take her out of the area for too long, and crush the little girl's heart? Can Nickie learn from her Aunt’s stories, and resolve the dispute? Will she have to make the hardest choice of all - for the sake of the system? What will she choose for her own future? Find out now! Join Nickie, and The Kurtherian Gambit’s original Ranger 2, Tabitha, on a rip-roaring, bar brawling adventure to save the frontier from slavery, arms dealing and the ‘Skaine’ of the universe.
