His world is unravelling...
Bassan's father is stepping down from command. His best friend almost dies when Bassan freezes. Now, he's being sent across the galaxy to speak at an important conference. Despite saving the eleven races years ago, he's paralyzed by doubt. Could things get any worse?
Once there, new acquaintance Zendar convinces Bassan to visit his planet for a humanitarian mission. Bassan's special connection to ancient technology is the key to saving Zendar's people. One problem though-it's a prisoner planet.
On Ugar, he discovers things aren't so straightforward. As each truth reveals itself, the situation grows more desperate. If he can't find the right answers, he might die along with Zendar's people. Can Bassan summon the courage to be a hero again?
