About this book

A former refugee from Callisto rises through Jupiter's navy in this second novel of the sci-fi series. Driven by violent injustice, he seeks revenge against the pirates who control the Jupiter planetoids. His family was destroyed, his sister enslaved, and his lover killed. He rises in Jupiter's navy to command a personal squadron. He faces piratical warlords of the Jupiter Elliptic in deadly combat, driven by raw courage and determination to overcome all obstacles in his pursuit of power and renown as Jupiter's tyrant.
