Synopsis
Ten years ago, Captain Colderaro was the star of the Confederacy Task Force. And then she disappeared. Now, presumed dead, she prefers to keep a low profile. Working as a pilot on a freighter ship, she occasionally accepts the odd refugee passenger to appease her humanitarian conscience. But things go downhill when her cargo turns out to be none other than the princess of a foreign race and her two bodyguards. Embroiled in a galaxy-wide scheme, Captain Colderaro finds herself dodging the Confederacy Task Force, space pirates, and mercenaries intent on capturing the princess. Can she make it to the foreign planet without losing or damaging her cargo and still protect her identity?
