    About this ebook

    Iguru Halk, space pirate, was once a great scientist and respected man, but one mistake cost him his career, his pride and his very identity. Iguru would do anything to reclaim it all, even change history itself. Now he's on the hunt for a mysterious ship that could help him clear his name, but he's not the only one searching. Kira, an enigmatic man who lives on a planet with no name, wants the ship for his own machinations. They form an uneasy truce, but as their relationship starts to grow, Iguru finds himself on the brink of making the same mistake twice, which could be his undoing or his greatest chance at redemption.
