Former pirate Catarina Vargus leads colonists, miners, and Royal Navy personnel to a forward outpost far beyond the frontier, meant to give the fleet a foothold against the genocidal alien Apex. The base draws the Scandian marauders too, plague-driven raiders eager to seize her ships and supplies, forcing Catarina to defend a foothold she has only just built. Opens Michael Wallace's Void Queen Trilogy.
