And from them the brilliant Angel technology could be explored and exploited. One of these stations orbits the planet Kaspar, where the only other known sentient species outside Earth has been meticulously allowed to continue evolving in its own world of primitive ignorance. But suddenly Kaspar`s mysterious `Citadel` has become the vital key to repelling the fast-approaching threat. At what cost, though, to its native inhabitants... and to the human residents of the orbiting Angel station?

Megan finds Bash, but the person she’d known and loved is a husk of his former self. Bash is also held captive by her greatest Gregor Tarrant. Tarrant wants the Wanderer too, even more than he wants her life, with motives less pure than her own. And he’s close to finding Megan’s most closely-guarded secret. A race across space to reach the Wanderer seems Megan’s best option. But this entity is also known as the Marauder, and is far from benign. The price for its secrets may be just too high. Megan should know, as she still bears the scars from their last encounter.
