Original Trade Paperback.Â The exciting debut of a nonstop noir SF from legendary game creator Frank Chadwick.Â With one single act of kindness, a tough-as-nails hood with a heart of gold saves two alien children from assassinationâ€”and resets the balance of galactic power in the process.

Sasha Naradnyo is a gangster.Â Heâ€™s a gangster with heart, sure, but Sasha sticks his neck out for no man.Â Thatâ€™s how you stay alive in Crack City, a colony stuffed deep into the crust of the otherwise unlivable planet Peezgtaan.Â Alive onlyâ€”because if youâ€™re human, you donâ€™t prosper, at least not for long.Â Sasha is aÂ second generation City native. HisÂ parents came to this rock figuring to make it big, only to find that theyâ€™d been recruited as an indentured labor force for alien overlords known as the Varoki.

Now a pair of rich young Varoki under the care of a beautiful human nanny are fleeing Peezgtaan, and Sasha is recruited to help.Â All things considered, heâ€™d rather leave the little alien lordlings to their fate, but certain considerationsâ€”such as Sashaâ€™s own imminent demise if he remainsâ€”make it beneficial forÂ him to take on the job.

But Sasha discovers his simple choice has thrust him into the midst of a political battle that could remake the galactic balance of power and save humanity from slow death by servitude.Â Now all he has to do is survive and keep his charges alive on a hostile planet undergoing its own revolution.

But itâ€™s the galaxy that had better watch out.Â For now the toughest thug in Crack City has gotten his first taste of real freedom. He likes it, and wants more.

The stunning debut of a nonstop science fiction noir thriller from legendary game creator Frank Chadwick.
