Parn is a poor man in a galaxy of immeasurable wealth. He harvests star pepper, the most valuable commodity in the galaxy. Vast corporations make cosmic profits on the harvests, while he can barely feed himself between voyages.
He has one hope: a map to a secret pepper planet. If he can decipher the map and finance an expedition, he can free himself from wage slavery. But now he's out of time: someone knows about the map and is prepared to kill him to get it.
On the run, Parn shelters with Ana, an intrepid navigator who seduces his secret out of him. When they fight, he takes up with Saicy, a voluptuous celebrity financier with an interest in star pepper. To make this work, Parn will need to get both women on board.
But through perils of space pirates, saboteurs, killer robots, jealousy, and greed, is there anyone Parn can trust with this much money on the line?
