Beloved and bestselling author John David Anderson returns with the conclusion to the epic sci-fi coming-of-age tale that began in Stowaway, which Booklist called "The Mandalorian meets Guardians of the Galaxy" in a starred review.
Leo Fender is no stranger to catastrophe, whether it's the intergalactic war that took his mother's life or the ongoing fight for his own. He's seen his planet plundered, his ship attacked, his father kidnapped, and his brother go missing?and found himself stranded on a ship with a bunch of mercenary space pirates.
Still, nothing could have prepared him for the moment he and the crew tried to save his father...and discovered a dark plot that could destroy hundreds of worlds in the blink of an eye.
Now Leo is adrift. His father has sent him on a mission with nothing but a data chip and a name of someone who could help, and Captain Bastian Black and the crew of the Icarus are determined to see this through to the end with Leo, to fulfill his father's wish and prevent further conflict.
But as Leo searches for answers, he can't help but wonder what it would take to end the war, to track down his father and brother and return to whatever home they have left?and if the cost of doing so is one he would be able to pay.
- An Epic Sci-Fi Adventure: Leo's quest takes him across the galaxy, from pirate raids in the Mirabar system to a desolate, abandoned planet, as he follows the only clue his father left behind.
- A Band of Misfits: He's stranded with Captain Bastian Black and the ragtag crew of the Icarus?outlaws, traitors, and maybe the only family he has left.
- Galaxy-Altering Stakes: The data chip Leo carries doesn't just hold the key to finding his father?it contains a dark secret that could lead to the destruction of hundreds of worlds.
- A Family Torn Apart: With his father kidnapped by the Djarik and his brother Gareth missing, Leo must decide how much he's willing to risk to bring his family home.
