Why do the simplest assignments . . . turn into the greatest disasters?



Adam Cain: 'Just my luck, I guess.'



All The Human had to do was turn over his latest bounty to the local authorities and collect his fee. But when it turns out that no one in the galaxy wants to take possession of the criminal, Adam is left with no choice but to transport him a quarter of the way across the galaxy, from the renegade planet Sinalus to Unidor Security's headquarters on Tactori.



The problem . . . it seems everybody and their brother are trying to stop him from completing his mission, both the good guys and the bad guys. What do they know that The Human doesn't?



The answer to that question keeps changing from each hostile planet Adam visits to the latest harrowing attack in space. And the truth is almost too much to believe, forcing an awkward alliance between captor and captive as they struggle to stay alive against impossible odds.
