The crew of the Kingfisher just want to get back to their normal life in the import/export business. Yes, they should have been heroes twice over, now, but no smuggler is looking for that sort of attention. Unfortunately, once you've fixed one impossible problem, people get the impression you can do any of them. So instead, Avery's getting chased by a dude with a spoon and Monte seems to be the go-to whenever the self-appointed galactic police have a suicide mission. The crew of the Kingfisher is on another not-entirely-voluntary mission, and this time the goal is rescuing peace. What can a hacker, an ex-soldier, an assassin, and a surfer do in the name of peace? Well, that's certainly going to be interesting to find out. Get ready to ship out, because there are no lazy days ahead. The crew of the Kingfisher is on the job.

There is no place in the universe that Carbon is afraid of. But Verona is the one place she swore she'd never return. The crew of the Kingfisher is ready to go live under the radar again. There is quite a decent life to be had, if you're a good smuggler, and Monte is better than good. The problem is that Carbon has been contacted by Bosh, a man from her old life, claiming that her home system is under attack. That her people aren't going to survive without - and probably even with - her help. Avery think's it's a trap, and Monte certainly doesn't trust Bosh. Savannah can't even figure out what war Bosh is talking about. But Carbon feels compelled by the call to protect her home and now, trap or not, the crew of the Kingfisher is heading into danger. Bosh may have built Carbon into a human weapon, and there's no doubt the man is good at what he does, but if he underestimates the crew of the Kingfisher they might yet win his game. Lock and load. The crew of the Kingfisher is headed to war.

Increasingly enmeshed in complex politics and missing their blissful ignorance, the crew of the Kingfisher are going to have to make some hard decisions about what role they really want to play in galactic events, and just how far from their mundane world of weapons smuggling they're willing to venture.Climb aboard. The flight of the Kingfisher is about to begin.
