Description
He abandoned them to save himself. Now he's running out of time to make it right.
Two decades ago, Torst and his crew of cargo security guards hatched a plan to steal a priceless alien device from the Voharian military. The heist went wrong. His friends Burton, Maria, and Ed were captured and imprisoned. Torst escaped with the stolen technology, buried it on a remote junkyard world, and vanished into hiding, telling himself he'd make things right someday.
Now he's dying, and someday has arrived.
When Torst tracks down Burton's son Jake and offers to lead him to the hidden treasure, it seems like his chance to finally atone for his crimes. But now the place where he buried it has become a battlefield in an interstellar war between the Voharians and Oltharians. But as they dig up the past, Torst discovers that some secrets refuse to stay buried, and that betrayal has a long memory.
