Captain Ellisa Shann commands the *Khidr*, a small escort and rescue ship with a crew of twenty-five. When she picks up a distress call from the *Hercules*, a supply ship, three days out of Phobos station, she decides to investigate. What she finds will push her, her crew and her ship to the brink of destruction. The *Hercules* is drifting dead in space. But there is another ship nearby, one that is decidedly not dead. In fact, it seems all too ready - and eager - to destroy the *Khidr*. Under attack by an unknown enemy, and fearing treachery from her own crew, Shann will need all the skill and courage she has if she wants the *Khidr* to survive. Sequel: Resilient.
