But the mercenaries of Star Risk, Ltd. will take on any mission - no matter how dangerous - provided of course, the price is right.M'chel Riss spent eight years of her life in the Alliance Marines, earning the rank of major, only to be assigned to a desolate outpost in the middle of nowhere. Then a rescue mission brought some excitement to her otherwise quiet existence - and brought her to the attention of Star Risk, Ltd. A mercenary outfit struggling for recognition, Star Risk has the required ragtag bunch of misfits, including an alien willing to invest his life savings in the company. Now if only they can succeed with their first mission: to spring a dangerous supersoldier trapped in a maximum-security prison.Why would Star Risk, Ltd., take on such an insane mission with so many odds stacked against them?
