It's time to pay the piper . . .



Tanis Richards has had enough with people manipulating her; unfortunately, the only way out is to go through.



Her mission takes her to Earth to abduct a high-ranking Scattered Disk officer on the orders of the Jovian Oligarch. Meanwhile, Harm must do the unthinkable to escape his captor and come to Tanis's aid.
