Two years have passed since the events of Volcano Day - the final battle where Earth defeated the invading aliens known as the Icari. With a mission to form galactic allies, General Sagan Sterling seeks the infamous Razor - an alien with powerful ties to the Vast Collective's seedy underbelly. Rumor has it, Sagan can find Razor on Gait, the Vast Collective's prison planet. It happens to be the same planet where Sagan's lover, Korac, is serving time for leading the Icari in their invasion of Earth. Conjugal visits are definitely in their future. Events back home raise the stakes for Sagan's mission, but Korac warns her to be careful around Razor. All that charm and charisma hides dark secrets beneath his Emporium of Exotic Experiences.
