Its reputation is known throughout the explored universe.
It is the light cruiser Last Stand, a privateer piloted by the legendary captain, Aiden Thorne.
His war was lost a decade ago but he fights on, refusing to stand by while the madmen of the Deconstructionist Movement grind humanity down into chaos. Aided by his dysfunctional crew, he attacks Movement trading vessels and warships and plunders them for cargo and spare parts to sell to continue his fight. His only goal is to either see the universe restored to some semblance of sanity, or let his ship live up to its name by fighting on until he finally meets an enemy who can beat him.
Lana has no past, and no future. Rescued from a stasis pod by the crew of the Last Stand, she discovers her mind has been wiped and she was intended to be sold into slavery. A Blank Slate, she now struggles to understand who she is and where she came from, and what her place in a cruel and brutal universe is, even as she's swept up in Aiden's personal war.
She's come aboard at the worst possible time, because the captain just might get his wish to find an enemy who can beat him. The Movement has put a bounty on the Last Stand and its crew large enough to buy a colony world, and they're finally turning the might of their galaxy-spanning regime to the hunt for the lone vessel. Even worse, they might have a more insidious surprise waiting for the privateers.
