Selene’s body is gone for good. But that’s not the half of it. The smugglers are reunited, the Alliance mole is dead, and though it should be a time for celebration, they’re not out of hot water just yet. Selene’s clone body is dying, and she’ll have to make nice with a pirate captain to get a new one. But when Rem discovers Earth has been sold to a violent alien species, the smugglers and what’s left of the Alliance must join together with pirates to warn the world, or watch the only home they’ve ever known go up in smoke.
