They won the battle, but victory comes with a price. After the triumph at Lunesco, Tony spreads plans for the rebellion throughout the Federation, while Quinn helps distribute resources and weapons. But when a mysterious data card connects her to an old enemy, she must gather friends to protect her children then venture out on her own to find answers. Avoiding Federation officers and bounty hunters is difficult, but staying one step ahead of the Russosken-the Federation's hired thugs-requires assistance from dubious allies. Quinn helps devise a plan to loosen the death grip on the Federation's outlying planets. But if she takes down the Russosken, what rise from the ashes? Freedom comes at a price. The final bill might be more than Quinn is willing to pay.
