Captain Dath Raker is burned out, battle-scarred, and barely holding on. His ship, the Tenacity, is the last of the old Fenris-class cruisers, outdated, underarmed, and nicknamed the “Old Wolf” by a loyal but jaded crew. But this one final mission gives Raker a shot at redemption: fly the flag of the Republic of Sanctuary and transport diplomats to a fragile peace summit.
