Treasure Planet meets Hamlet in this quest for vengeance and truth through the depths of space, from the minds of Jane Maree and Magnus Carlssen. Deep in interstellar space, the notorious pirate Captain Dolion of the Nebula stalks his prey. For ten years he has pursued the Nova Alliance in his vengeance for the deaths of his parents. Ten years he has hunted. Ten years he has dreamed of only one thing: Death to the Nova Alliance. Meeting Jesse Kieffer, cursed with mysterious powers, will force him to come to terms with his humanity, and risk losing—or gaining—the only thing he has left to live for.

A ten-year crusade reaches a pitched crescendo following a devastating attack on an unsuspecting civilian outpost. A sailor on the renegade starship ‘Nebula’ desperately seeks reason in the wake of the atrocities he witnesses. An old man begs for mercy…and finds none.
