Now the Pact wants the Legion's help with one of their newer planets, Crimond. But murky mission parameters and an unhelpful liaison officer leaves Ronan and Bel wondering who's a friend and who's a foe. And when the Legion splits up to handle two different missions, Bel finds herself an entire continent away, on a mission to scout an abandoned Star League base. But she soon discovers the base-and the nearby community-is anything but abandoned…and if she doesn't act fast, she and her GDL commandos will receive a welcome they won't walk away from…
