Victor buried his conscience long ago-six feet deep beneath a smile he perfected under the training of Adolf Wren, the merciless head of a corporate empire that spans the galaxy. He was trained to be heartless. Ruthless behind a polished mask.

But redemption has a way of clawing its way back to the surface. When Victor is hired to rescue Marilyn Finch, the daughter of Wren's bitter rival Norton Crow.

In this gripping interstellar thriller, Victor must confront the enemies closing in on every side, and bring Wren's empire crumbling down on the secrets that make up its foundation. But how can he do that without giving in to the very monster he's trying to escape?
