A Missing Comrade, Raider Attacks, and a Surplus of Plotting Enemies Lieutenant Commander Beau Ward has too much on his plate. June is acting even quirkier than usual, the space station is malfunctioning, and his growing squadron needs new fighters to fly their missions. Worst of all, finding a lead on who kidnapped Katy is turning up nothing but dead ends. Beau's pilot shortage is eased by a new arrival, and Katy's apprentice may be green but he's stepping up to make her proud in her absence. The search for Katy is further complicated by the Kratch piling on the pressure with regular attacks. But do they have an ally on Uuru? When news of Katy comes in, the only option Beau has is to ask for . . . external assistance. Can the squadron take the battle to the enemy in time to pull off the most daring rescue yet?
