There's no place like homeworld...

Vincent Chen would rather stay far away from his birthplace.

But when he's called back to Tiaozhan, it's his job that's on the line.

His superiors at MarkTel don't like the publicity his adventures have brought the company, which holds the monopoly on galactic communications. Vincent dutifully promises to keep quiet for the duration of his stay.

Except his younger brother has other ideas.

Martin Chen is mixed up with dangerous smugglers, who're furious he's encroaching on their business, and they won't let him simply walk away.

It'll take all Vincent's savvy and a partnership with a legendary law enforcement officer to keep his brother—and himself—alive.

And his family intact.
