What if you had to choose between a job and the person you love more than anything else in the world? For an ordinary spacetugger that hauls goods all over the Orion System and doesn't make good money, this should be an easy choice. Or so his wife thinks. But for Rein Vinkel quitting is not an option. Why? He's a secret agent. He was nothing but a boy looking for excitement and adventure when he signed his life away to the Torrin Intelligence Agency. Now, twelve years later, the balloon of his enthusiasm starts to deflate. As he's trying to figure out a way to get out, the unexpected happens. His wife goes ballistic and ends the relationship by kicking him out of the house. From Rein Vinkel trying to win his wife back, to a lesbian schoolgirl, Anna, running for her life from a mysterious assassin, to a ragtag group known as the Outsiders stealing speeders in the dead of night, the first book in the action-packed series draws us into the world of a diverse cast of characters, all dealing with their life problems and connected by a common fate. Did I mention Vorgs? A primitive, backward humanoid race that is just a pawn in humans' game of geopolitical chess. The game that will uncover a shocking secret of their origin and unleash a threat that has been contained for millions of years.
