Now privateers rather than criminals, the Redshift Runners protect Earth and its colonies from pirates …

Until trade routes are attacked by the unmanned fleets of the Prestige, the former protectors of ancient Earth. Though the deadly raids threaten the stability Deadeye and Talon have sacrificed so much to achieve, they discover its true
purpose: an operation code-named Termination Vector, which has targeted the Runners for destruction.

Old enemies reappear in a bid for power, abusing the very technology that has allowed humanity to settle the stars. Deadeye and his shipmates must gather their allies to confront the marauding fleets in a battle for the future of the Orion Spur.

But the cost might be more than they can bear.
