Sasha Naradnyo is a gangster. He’s a gangster with heart, sure, but
Sasha sticks his neck out for no man. That’s how you stay alive in Crack
City, a colony stuffed deep into the crust of the otherwise unlivable planet
Peezgtaan. Alive only — because if you’re human, you don’t
prosper, at least not for long. Sasha is a second generation City native. His
parents came to this rock figuring to make it big, only to find that
they’d been recruited as an indentured labor force for alien overlords
known as the Varoki. Now a pair of rich young Varoki under the care of a
beautiful human nanny are fleeing Peezgtaan, and Sasha is recruited to help. All
things considered, he’d rather leave the little alien lordlings to their
fate, but certain considerations — such as Sasha’s own imminent
demise if he remains — make it beneficial for him to take on the job. But
Sasha discovers his simple choice has thrust him into the midst of a political
battle that could remake the galactic balance of power and save humanity from
slow death by servitude. Now all he has to do is survive and keep his charges
alive on a hostile planet undergoing its own revolution.
