A treasure hunt in deep space... It was a simple plan. Commandeer an abandoned lifeboat and go flying across the rings of Saturn looking for a lost ship called the Mary Alice. Becomes a grim struggle for survival But they didn't find the Mary Alice. They found the Stark Raven, a pirate ship, floating lifeless and apparently abandoned. It looks like the chance of a lifetime for James Chan and his crew of slackers and misfits, but the pirates aren't quite done with the Raven. And when Chan and crew flee to the frozen moon of Enceladus, they discover that space pirates are the least of their problems...

The body guarding job looks dodgy, but the Stark Raven needs repairs and Captain James Chan is in no position to be picky. Sure enough, armed men barge in at a party and drag away the old man Chan is supposed to be protecting. Chan barely escapes with his life. Now a stubborn sense of responsibility won't let Chan just fly away. The cops want him gone. The local drug gang wants him to disappear. The kidnappers want him dead. Chan just wants the whole ordeal to be over, but he was hired for a job. Keep the old man safe. He's failed badly, as he's failed so many times before, but this time is going to be different. This time, James Chan is going to redeem himself, or die trying.

Liz Jones, pilot of the Stark Raven, wants nothing more than a quiet night of cards in a space station casino. Then agents of a shadowy corporation show up, hunting her crew, and the mysterious Marcus Drinkwater steps in to help her. She's never met a man like Marcus. He shares her talent for mayhem and he puts himself at risk for Liz and her crew. But Marcus has secrets, from a parcel that he hides in his cabin to a rendezvous in deep space. When a fleet of warships shows up looking for Marcus, Liz faces an impossible decision. Outnumbered, outgunned, and surrounded, the Raven can't hope to escape. But Marcus is her friend, and for Liz Jones, that makes things simple. She's going to keep him safe, no matter what it takes, and God help anyone who gets in her way.
