Tompa Lee - orphan, anti-social loner, and homeless street meat -- has clawed her way up to the stars. There, on planet Zee Shode, she finds the galaxy’s greatest treasures: friendship and love.

Happily ever after? Not if the Galactic Trading Council has its way. The Council rules by 'divide and conquer', so when Tompa commits the unforgivable crime of ‘forgery’—forging a forbidden alliance between humans, Shons, and Klicks—they hire Lily Kilsing, earth’s most feared bounty hunter. Kilsing lures Tompa to a deserted alien city by kidnapping her fiancé and her best friend.

Will Tompa kill the huntress – or be forced to sacrifice her own life to save her loved ones?
