Hard times make for strong men, and Antonin Murdock's childhood was as rough as it gets. Now, he's a Ranger, the only law for colonists seeking their fortune far from home.
Murdock's investigation into a missing freighter takes him to Coracaesium, a world he discovers has been turned into a stronghold by brutal pirate forces. They are more organized than anything he's seen before, equipped with advanced weaponry, and led by a tactical and strategic genius.
Sanya Baretto.

The destruction of the Commonwealth.
