Captain James Decker has lived a life of hunting, killing, and earning credits. To some, it hasn’t amounted to much, but to him, it’s led to him captaining the SC Fortune, a space cruiser with a competent crew that he’s grown fond of. After accepting a bounty hunting mission with a beautiful blonde woman as the mark, Decker finds himself soon without a ship and a crew. But as luck would have it, this same mission gives him back what he lost: a new ship and a new crew. This ship is composed of what seems like organic material, and the sole crew member he finds on board is the same beautiful blonde whose bounty he took. Turns out that this woman is what is known to very few as a symbiote, and she’s one of the last ones left. She has a mission for Decker: seek out her sisters and bring them all together. While not a typical mission for Decker, the symbiote’s request, should he honor it, will lead to more credits than any planet president, let alone bounty hunter, has laid eyes on. It’ll mean becoming captain of a new ship, a living starship, and seeking out the last symbiotes all the way to the cosmic horizon.

James Decker, captain of the living starship Farrago, has a mission: locate the seven symbiotes scattered across space. This mission will bring him credits beyond his imaginations, but it could also save the universe. He has found three, but there are still four more out there. And all the while, the strange faceless man from the Cloud Sea is never far away. He has his eye on this side of the void, and Captain James Decker might be the only one who can stop him.

With Egil the last male symbiote seeking to enter the Myrmidon System and destroy it, Captain James Decker and the crew of the Farrago have their work cut out for them. Egil is a being with more power than any other living creature, even James Decker with all his symbiote enhancements. But Decker has yet to complete his quest. There are more female symbiotes lost in space. If he can find them before it’s too late, he might just save the universe.
