Category: Fiction , Science Fiction , Space Opera

“A planet-stomping space opera that bursts off the page like a tactical nuke.”—John  Birmingham, author of Weapons of Choice  The Hammer Worlds—the most brutal and oppressive  interstellar government in the universe—have hijacked the Federated Worlds cruise  ship Mumtaz, seizing its valuable terraforming cargo and damning its passengers to  mining the moons of the prison planet known as Hell.  For Junior Lieutenant Michael  Helfort and the crew aboard deep space scout vessel 387, the mission is clear: infiltrate  enemy territory, locate the Mumtaz, and rescue the prisoners. The odds are appalling,  and the damage will probably be fatal, but victory is nonnegotiable–especially for  Helfort, whose mother and sister were on the Mumtaz.  And Michael Helfort will be  damned if he’ll let his family rot on the moons of Hell.
