Jeth Seagrave and his crew have made their name stealing metatech: the devices that allow people to travel great distances faster than the speed of light. Jeth Seagrave and his crew of teenage mercenaries have survived in this world by stealing unsecured metatech, and they’re damn good at it.

That power is derived from one thing: metatech, the devices that allow people to travel great distances faster than the speed of light. The agencies that govern the Confederation are as corrupt as the crime bosses who patrol it, and power is held by anyone with enough greed and ruthlessness to claim it. Of the various star systems that make up the Confederation, most lie thousands of light years from First Earth-and out here, no one is free.
