\"\"Adda and Iridian are newly-minted engineers, but in a solar system wracked by economic collapse after an interplanetary war, an engineering degree isn\u2019t worth the paper it\u2019s printed on. Desperate for gainful employment, they hijack a colony ship, planning to join a pirate crew at Barbary Station, an abandoned shipbreaking station in deep space.<\/p>\n

But when they arrive at Barbary Station, nothing is as they expected. The pirates aren\u2019t living in luxury \u2014 they\u2019re hiding in a makeshift base welded onto the station\u2019s exterior hull. The artificial intelligence controlling the station\u2019s security system has gone mad, trying to kill all station residents. And it shoots down any ship that tries to leave, so there\u2019s no way out.<\/p>\n

Adda and Iridian have one chance to earn a place on the pirate crew: destroy the artificial intelligence. The last engineer who went up against the security system suffered explosive decapitation, and the pirates are taking bets on how the newcomers will die. But Adda and Iridian plan to beat the odds.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a glorious future in piracy\u2026if they can survive long enough.<\/p>\n
