Are things finally looking up for Captain Lana Fiveworlds? She's managed to reach what passes for civilisation in the wild border systems of the Edge - Transference Station - the largest trading hub in the free worlds. With her ramshackle starship, the Gravity Rose, safely docked, she's now desperately searching for a cargo to stave off bankruptcy.
Lana's crew needs paying - including the amorous barbarian prince she rescued from a failed colony world. But her crew have other priorities: the ship's android, Zeno, is distracted by terrible secrets from his past, while her alien navigator, Polter, runs into trouble indulging his religious fervour.
If that wasn't enough, there's a deal available... but only from the dodgiest broker in a thousand planets. With rival starship captains looking to sabotage Lana for good, and a dangerous mission to a mysterious planet which is far more than the lies she's been spun, things can only get worse from here on in.
Lana Fiveworlds and her crew of misfits are still sliding void, just, but for how much longer?
Sometimes, the brown stuff piles up so high you need antigravity thrusters to fly over it.

REVIEWS
Praise for Stephen Hunt's novels:
'Mr. Hunt takes off at racing speed.'
— THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
'Hunt's imagination is probably visible from space. He scatters concepts that other writers would mine for a trilogy like chocolate-bar wrappers.'
- TOM HOLT
'All manner of bizarre and fantastical extravagance.'
- DAILY MAIL
'Compulsive reading for all ages.'
- GUARDIAN
'Studded with invention.'
-THE INDEPENDENT
'Hunt has packed the story full of intriguing gimmicks… affecting and original.'
- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
'A rip-roaring Indiana Jones-style adventure.'
—RT BOOK REVIEWS
'A curious part-future blend.'
- KIRKUS REVIEWS
'An inventive, ambitious work, full of wonders and marvels.'
- THE TIMES
'Hunt knows what his audience like and gives it to them with a sardonic wit and carefully developed tension.'
- TIME OUT
'A ripping yarn … the story pounds along… constant inventiveness keeps the reader hooked… the finale is a cracking succession of cliffhangers and surprise comebacks. Great fun.'
