In the aftermath, as she tries to piece together what happened, a crew of roughneck settlers pressgang her into a dangerous mission in the heart of Corps territory. Time is running out to get back everything she's lost. Her crew, her brother, and her options. But no one is taking her gun. Winner of the 2010 Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Colorado Gold Contest for best action/thriller.
