\"Final<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The enemy took everything from Fin. And he wants it back.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, they stole his dog. Then they destroy his ship. And after a violent space station attack, they devastate his home in the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unidentified enemy forces execute a spectacularly violent assault within the Union on a Ranger Corps-affiliated space station. Fearful of a mole in their ranks, the Ranger Corps locks down all nearby space stations and planetary systems as they seek to flush out the traitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complicating the matter, the enemy liberated a cadre of the galaxy\u2019s most dangerous outlaws from the Rangers\u2019 Protected Species Division prisons. And with the prisoners, they kidnapped many of Fin\u2019s allies, including stalwart friend Warrox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fin, Renata, Drake, Audrey, Theta, and a freshly rescued Jacques must outmaneuver the Ranger Corps\u2019 own security protocols in frantic pursuit of their close allies and the Ranger Corps fugitives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if this mission weren\u2019t already personal enough, the raiders of the Ranger Corps station may also be responsible for the disappearance of Drake\u2019s broodmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With no support and a brand-new spaceship salvaged from an intergalactic junkyard, Fin and the crew embark on their most perilous mission yet. They have only one advantage: Jacques is back and ready for action. Or at least moral support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
