I loved this book! Great action and the storyline and characters were well written. Melina Dmitros is the Captain of a starship. The Alliance has just entered into an agreement with the Prime one of the oldest species in space and Melina has just received a call for help from a Prime star cruiser. Going to their help she finds the priate ship dead in space with minimal emergency life support but has to board the Prime ship because she cannot contact them. The priates have boarded the Prime ship Galanti and are trapped by the Prime warriors but the prime warriors are also trapped in their engine room and defending their ship from the pirates.
