For Van and his crew, danger is no longer just among the stars.

On earth, the Fafnir has drawn the attention of the most dangerous predator known to humanity—Bureaucrats.

Between human enemies and alien allies, Van finds himself on the edge of a powerful change in his career.

From the depths of his family history, an old enemy returns with plans for power at any cost. Just as his grandfather did fifty years earlier, Van will meet and challenge the threat of an ancient empire that spans deserts, stars, and time. This enemy will force Van's hand as he confronts a question at the heart of who he is—what does it mean to be alive, and who controls your life?

But there's more than just war and crime. There might be a wedding, there will be cheese, and Funboy has a growing career as a television personality in the Midwest, but only if he can wear a tuxedo, of course.

Join Van and the crew as they find that friendship never dies, and neither does greed—at least, not around the Guild.

They have created a lively world and environment for all to enjoy. I have been lucky to have found this series and have been drawn into it. It is like reading the masters of Sci-Fi and to think back to all the good memories that I have been able to enjoy. Thank both authors for their ability to enjoy!

I was kind of getting used to the Groucho Marks interpretation of Perry in the peace, Scaper wars, and having a hard time listening to them in the continuing backyard starship books if you could do something about that or will he suddenly start speaking like Groucho after he gets all his memories back?

Nicely paced story

I am not sure how I like adding more twists to the story line, especially the part about Perry’s increased memory and what it contains. I did like where they made Van’s grandfather a good guy that worked behind the scenes doing the work of a guild master. So now I guess that Van is a guild master? I am reading the Guild Wars series which is about Van’s grandfather as his career is beginning. At some point I hope to encounter his grandfather doing things mentioned by Van.

And the story becomes more complicated
