[US Sale] The biggest score ever pulled in the galaxy.

That’s what Jake Pool is after. He’s been across known space, pulling jobs on a thousand worlds. Mixing with dangerous thugs and murderous aliens. Always two steps ahead of the law. But it’s never enough.

Until he finds this score.

This is it. The big one!

There’s only one problem. The job is in deep space. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide if things go sideways. One mistake, and he’s dead.

He gathers a crack team of twelve-fingered codebreakers, cloned pirate spacers, and reptilian mercenaries. They train and train until every move is burned into their brains, every possible problem accounted for. Soon, they have it down. They’re ready. Nothing can go wrong.

But something does go wrong.

Something always goes wrong.
