New marriage. New commissions. New mission.

Chris and Jade led a rescue mission to a new world, and Jade almost died. But Earth-like planets are rare and precious, so they came back.

They're better armed and better provisioned. But all alone. Or are they?

Chris and Jade discover a lost human colony suffering under despotic rule. They've already broken laws they never knew existed. When the despots reject their neutrality, Chris and Jade are drawn into the middle of a conflict that's been building for generations.

The commoners want them to lead a revolution. The rulers want them dead. Chris and Jade just want to survive their first mission.
