A star nation's ruler with dreams of building a galactic empire is heading their way and a totally unexpected astronomical discovery will push Steele, his crew and his ship to their limits. This mission will be anything but peaceful and if the Demon Star doesn't kill him, there are other threats both human and alien that might. How long does he have before his luck runs out?
