Synopsis

"The Merry Band of Pirates offered the bad guys a ceasefire. We won't mess with them, if they don't mess with us. Easy, right? NO. The aliens chose to do things the hard way. So, the Pirates are racing around the galaxy to clean up the threat to Earth. The infant UN Navy has their own mission with the Alien Legion: get humanity some allies in the fight. And the Ethics & Compliance Office might have to do something...ethical. Unless they can find a way around it"--Cover, page 4.
