The stage is set for a possibly cataclysmic confrontation in non-space-and the Speaker for the Clan Council and her human mate are about to find themselves in the heart of the conflict.

Business is war, and business is booming. Economic competition has escalated into a full-scale galactic conflict, and the salvage marines are pulling hard duty at the center of the catastrophe.
