Jim Terio's fourth novel capitalizes on his technical experience, insight, and creativity and continues his foray into hard science fiction. Space travel has transitioned into interstellar travel and trade owing to mankind's curiosity and innovation. Technology has transitioned to commercialization, and huge interstellar freighters ... I-freighters ... traverse the galaxy using SNAP drives to pinch their way through space at speeds exceeding the speed of light. Three unlikely partners agree to buy an I-freighter to ferry cargo between planets extending across the galaxy. On a distant planet in the Eridani system, Capt. Michael Taylor's daughter Lee-Lee is kidnapped to force her father, together with the ship's navigator Hester and the ship's engineer Rostov to make a deal with the devil to secure her release. The previous ship's owners had destroyed their families and the family business, going to their graves to protect a secret that had emerged to threaten the ship's crew and Lee-Lee. Set in the 25th century, interstellar travel has become reality, and Jim Terio's fertile mind treats us to how it all got there, coupled with the realization that criminal greed will always be with us.
