Captain Helen McCarthy has successfully led her ship and crew across the chaotic war zone dividing the solar system on 57 uneventful routine supply missions. This is the story of their 58th voyage. Junior Mechanic Cassie is far from ready for her new assignment. Thrust into one unexpected crisis after another, she'll have to learn fast if she wants to make it through her first mission in one piece.
