It's a dog's life! The Search/Destroy agent Johnny Alpha is still alive. Having wreaked vengeance against the humans that plotted the final solution to mutant-kind, he is released from prison for one last job in deep space that only a Strontium Dog can do. And with the freedom of his friends on the line he has no choice but to accept... Now that their careers as bounty hunters are off the cards, his mutant friends have a new job proposition. They are hired to repossess The Rock - an asteroid space-station owned by a galactic crime lord - and to succeed they must pull off a heist of galactic proportions!

It has been mere months since Viking Wulf Sternhammer returned to the 22nd century with Search/Destroy agent Johnny Alpha, and the legendary partnership they forged is in its infancy. Sternhammer knows nothing of Alpha’s past, and is still getting used to the everyday prejudice that mutants suffer at the hands of the norms. When they are approached on the Doghouse by a grieving parent who lost her daughter in a shuttle explosion and tasked with finding her missing husband, their search will take them to an Earth colony divided by bigotry and tumbling into chaos...
