Randall Munroe’s past won’t stay deceased.

Created Tyler Callas, the pampered heir of the Corporate Council scion, he fled that existence and adapted the brand new identity of Randall Munroe thus he could join the Commonwealth Space Fleet Sea Corps’ elite Drive Recon unit in the war against the alien Tahni Imperium.

However when he returned from your war, his old lifestyle found him. His mother, Corporate Council Executive Patrice Damiani, tracked him down and tried to return him to her internet of control, also if she acquired about Recon: A Wolf in the Collapse to possess his personality changed by medicines and psychological brainwashing to do it. Narrowly escaping her clutches, he made a deal with the devil to stay free . and today the debt is certainly come due.

Cowboy, a ex – Space Fleet Cleverness commando who have fought beside Munroe on Demeter, right now works for just one of Patrice Damiani’s rivals in the Corporate Council and he decided to keep Munroe safe from her, in return for Munroe using the skills he learned like a Recon Sea in the service of Cowboy’s manager. Cowboy has monitored down gossips of a historical alien artifact that has been discovered by one of the criminal cabals out in the desolate Pirate Worlds, and he needs Munroe to grab it.

Munroe recruits a squad of former Marines and resistance fighters he fought with through the battle and travels to Thunderhead, a global wracked by storms and hurricane winds, to a city run from the notorious crime manager known only seeing that Abuelo. Their mission is to complete themselves off as mercenaries, make an effort to obtain hired by Abuelo and infiltrate his business and find out where he’s keeping the artifact.

Cowboy and his Corporate experts see the artifact seeing that a valuable little bit of shed technology they are able to make use of to strengthen their control more than the Commonwealth’s overall economy.

Abuelo views it being a tool to solidify his power among the other lawbreaker cabals and make use of against Commonwealth police.

But its true nature may be something not one of them not one of these can control . . . a thing that could ruin them all.
