It's a Corps truism that no one survives a Coalition POW camp. Jeena Garza is the exception. Freed during a sudden attack by Union forces, she steals a cargo ship and heads home to Earth. But the ship isn't just a cargo ship. It's a smuggling vessel, and Jeena ends up marooned on the desert planet Ararat, far from home and all alone. That is, until she adopts a tiny tigra cub despite her best intentions. Samson keeps her company, although he can be a serious pest. Still, it's better than being alone. Then Samson shocks her by displaying something that has never before been seen in the galaxy--sentience in a non-human species. Is he just an aberration, or is there a darker reason than ridding the planet of a pest why the Judaslam Rosh-dan are conducting an erradication campaign against the tigras. Wanting only to be left in peace, sick of war and all it entails, Jeena is thrust into yet another one as Samsun learns the truth about his people, the race he has despised as savage beasts. When the war is over, the truth about the tigra race will change the galaxy forever. If she survives.
