"Some call it revenge; she calls it justice . . . Samira Anders is young and out of control; drugs, alcohol, and a prison sentence are just the start. But when Samira's mercenary father is murdered, she has to change, and change she does, starting her new life with two promises: to take over from her father as command pilot of the family's antiquated assault lander and to track down his killers. Samira discovers that promises are easy to make and hard to keep. Worse, they have unintended consequences, and before long she becomes the target of one of humanspace's biggest criminal organizations, an organization that will go the ends of space to hunt her down. Samira finds herself in a desperate fight for survival, plunged into a world where death awaits every mistake, a world where nothing is what it seems, a world where lies wrap the truth in deceit. And, with much more than her own life at stake, it is a fight she cannot afford to lose."--
