Burned
A dozen slaves to be freed. One rescue goes terribly awry.
Everything is in place. Intelligence gathered. Agents assigned to multiple space stations. The only unknown: Where is Dameon and what will he do when he realizes every slave he owns is being smuggled away? Before Tracy and Vigard set out, they discover that all their efforts, even their successes, may be in vain if they cannot overcome a rising threat. The luck of the draw lands them on the same space station as Dameon, forcing each to make an excruciating choice. What are they willing to sacrifice for someone else’s freedom?
