Escape from Shar Burk

When Chet, Toreni, and Jirra rescue Marisa, mistress of Shar Burk's brutal governor Soldar, from certain death they think they're just helping a fellow woman to a new life. But what did Marisa do to earn a death sentence? Is it just a couple of dictators flexing their muscles? Or something much more dangerous? They set off to follow a tenuous trail where Marisa discovers there's a whole new world off Shar Burk space station and men much nicer than Soldar.



But by taking in Marisa, the team has been noticed by Soldar. Helped by a traitor in Fleet Intelligence, he's on their trail before they discover his plans. And he wants them all dead.
