It is a dark time for the Galactic Republic.
Fusion reactor fuel rod prices have gone sky high and people can't afford to switch their lights on.
Even more importantly, the Halreptors are ravaging the edges of known space, destroying outposts, hijacking freighters, stealing every copy of Galactic Heat magazine and leaving nobody alive to tell the tale. Emboldened by their successes, their last attack was deep inside Republic borders.
The Space Corps, relegated by centuries of peace and decadence to little more than glorified traffic wardens, cannot cope. The Senate is either in bed or disarray.
The Galaxy is in desperate need of a leader, a hero.
What it gets is Kaymer Haynes, con man and currently inmate of the escape-proof prison planet Srindar Djem.
Can one man succeed where the might of the entire Star Fleet has failed? Can Haynes overcome telepaths, homicidal pigs, love androids, bounty hunters, unfriendly ship computers, floating palaces and being the holy prophet of the God of Dung in order to save the day?
Or even the hour?
