My name is... well, it doesn't matter what my name is. Here's what you need to know about me.

I'm an ex-soldier and a present-day-mercenary. My job is to rescue gifted kids from s**thole planets on the far edges fo the universe. My current mission: a 13-year-old girl named Esa. Esa's a telepath. And she's got a guardian, a kind of robot named Preacher, so I guess I'm rescuing Preacher, too.

Here's the problem: there's a fleet of war-crazed monsters out there, and they're after the same kid.

And they'll do anything to get her - even start an intergalactic war.

I guess I'd better start one first.

AN IMPOSSIBLE MISSION

A century ago, a mysterious pulse of energy spread across the universe. Meant to usher in a new era of peace and prosperity, it instead destroyed technology indiscriminately, leaving some worlds untouched and throwing others into total chaos.

AN UNSTOPPABLE ENEMY

The Justified, a mysterious group of super-soldiers, have spent a hundred years trying to find a way to restore order to the universe. Their greatest asset is the feared mercenary Kamali, who travels from planet to planet searching for gifted young people and bringing them to the secret world she calls home. Kamali hopes that those she rescues will be able to find a way to reverse the damage the pulse wreaked, and ensure that it never returns.

THE END OF THE UNIVERSE

But Kamali isn’t the only person looking for answers to unimaginable questions. And when her mission to rescue a grumpy teenaged girl named Esa goes off the rails, Kamali suddenly finds herself smack in the centre of an intergalactic war… that she started.

AND THAT’S JUST THE BEGINNING
