In Tom Vaine's new sci-fi novel, Omega Brown takes life as it comes. A mercenary and fighter adrift in the galaxy, no job too far flung, no problem that can't be solved. Omega moves from planet to planet, completing contracts, fighting monsters, and making a fair paycheque along the way. From the jungles of Krildar, where he meets his towering new bodyguard Hoonra, to the junk-fields of Telleria, there's little of the galaxy Omega hasn't explored.
That is, until Omega and Hoonra take a job working for The Galactic Syndicate, and stumble across an ancient eldritch curse. Suddenly, even the most remote corners of the galaxy are no longer safe. As Omega and Hoonra are drawn deeper and deeper into a battle they have no way to avoid, both will have to choose who, and what, they will become. The fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance.
