Every now and then, the best person to be the hero . . . is a
criminal Frey is the captain of the Ketty Jay, leader of a small
and highly dysfunctional band of layabouts. An inveterate womaniser
and rogue, he and his gang make a living on the wrong side of the
law, avoiding the heavily armed flying frigates of the Coalition
Navy. With their trio of ragged fighter craft, they run contraband,
rob airships and generally make a nuisance of themselves. So a hot
tip on a cargo freighter loaded with valuables seems like a great
prospect for an easy heist and a fast buck. Until the heist goes
wrong, and the freighter explodes. Suddenly Frey isn't just a
nuisance anymore - he's public enemy number one, with the Coalition
Navy on his tail and contractors hired to take him down. But Frey
knows something they don't. That freighter was rigged to blow, and
Frey has been framed to take the fall. If he wants to prove it,
he's going to have to catch the real culprit. He must face liars
and lovers, dogfights and gunfights, Dukes and daemons. It's going
to take all his criminal talents to prove he's not the criminal
they think he is ... Readers have been having a blast reading
