Polesotechnic League troubleshooter David Falkayn and his alien partners explore a rogue planet trapped between a blue giant star and absolute zero.

When interstellar merchant troubleshooter David Falkayn and his non-human partners Chee Lan and Adzel acquire planetary survey coordinates from a rogue computer, they discover a rogue planet hurtling through space. Named "Satan's World" due to its hyper-extreme environment—swinging from frozen helium oceans to boiling atmosphere near a hot star—the world holds massive commercial value.

As the Polesotechnic League rushes to stake a claim, Falkayn's team discovers an ancient, aggressive alien empire called the Shenn planning to capture the world and trigger interstellar war.

Why You’ll Love This Book
