After a long tour as legal officer aboard the starship USS
Michaelson, Paul Sinclair is anticipating shore duty. Too bad it’s canceled when a group of religious fanatics hijacks a freighter and invades an asteroid.

Someone onboard the Michaelson is selling secrets, and to uncover the traitor, Paul must walk the dangerous line between duty and honor…
