When pirates hijack the Wayfarer and its valuable terraforming cargo, Captain Aidan Murphy must become something more than a cargo pilot to save his crew.
After losing his arm and leg in a mining accident, Aidan Murphy rebuilt his life as captain of the cargo ship Wayfarer. But when pirates seize his vessel during a routine Mars run, Aidan makes a desperate choice—using experimental teleportation technology to escape and seek help.
Recruited as "Mercury," an elite Warrant Officer for the Solar Bureau of Investigation and Apprehension, Aidan gains access to cutting-edge technology and authority to pursue the pirates across the solar system. With his crew held hostage and valuable terraforming equipment at stake, he leads a team of specialized agents to infiltrate the pirates' asteroid base.
But this is no ordinary hijacking. The Medusa Crime Syndicate has far-reaching plans that threaten the entire solar system, and the Wayfarer's cargo is just the beginning. As Aidan uncovers layers of conspiracy and betrayal, he must master his new abilities and reconcile his dual identity—the cargo captain who values freedom and the Warrant Officer sworn to uphold the law.
