The system of Cherque has lived under siege for eight centuries.
Any ship wanting to go to or from Cherque must traverse around the tumultuous storms of the Cherqui Ranges. The only problem? Any ship taking that route risks coming under attack from the ruthless, cyborg Marfikians. Cherque itself is barricaded in a fortress of system defences. Until, one day, miraculously, a tunnel appears through the Ranges.
This is the story of a five-planet odyssey in which Alex von Strada and Fourth Fleet Irregulars contend with rambunctious scientists, a planet-wide party, Marfikian attack, exodiplomacy and the future of humanity.
Oh, and Zabbie the Zombie Rabbit.
