The Wanderer’s escape has pushed the Empire too far. Now Jess and his crew are being hunted with relentless precision — and their only path to freedom leads through a narrow corridor of space under tight Imperial control.

Something even the Empire can’t withstand is spreading… and the Wanderer is flying straight into it.
