The Galaxy is breaking up as the Confederation of Species fractures. Maauro and her new companion, Dassa, have reached their safe Inner Worlds and sold their fabulous cargo of gems, but restlessness plagues Maauro the AI. She seeks a greater purpose for her existence.

The tale begun in the Fenaday/Rainhell Chronicle adds new volumes as Shasti Rainhell, genetically engineered assassin, continues the saga. Shasti Rainhell now commands her former lover Fenaday’s privateer Sidhe when she is recruited by Confederate Spymaster Mandela to take his team of scientists and soldiers into unknown space. The war with the Conchirri is over, but a new threat has appeared from further in toward the galactic core in the form a ship called an Evolver which attacked a Confederate world.

Reluctant privateer Robert Fenaday searches the stars for his lost love, Lisa, a naval intelligence officer whose ship disappeared near the end of the Conchirri War. He's joined by the genetically engineered assassin, Shasti Rainhell, whose cold perfection masks her dark past. Both are blackmailed by government spymaster, Mandela, into a suicidal mission to the doomed planet Enshar.

Having survived the nightmare world of Enshar, Robert Fenaday abandons privateering and his quest for his lost wife to begin life anew with the genetically engineered assassin, Shasti Rainhell. But spymaster Mandela has other plans for the pair, intrigue, and murder on Shasti’s home planet of Olympia. Fenaday must fight his way to Shasti, facing her deadly creator and an alien mystery that could destroy the Confederacy.

Robert Fenaday must drive the starship Sidhe across uncharted space to rescue his wife before war breaks out. But can he keep his command from mutiny and his former lover Shasti Rainhell from murder as well? Included for the first time is the short story, "Regrets and Requiems", an adventure from the early days of Fenaday and Rainhell's deadly partnership!

Maauro has played many roles in the fifty millennia of her existence, android war machine, friend and lover. Now she lies buried in grief from a role she never wanted – having outlived her friends and husband. But a seachange is coming in the most unlikely form, a fleeing teenage Thieves Guild trainee, Dassa Falkayan, granddaughter of Dusko. Maauro reawakens to engage in new adventures but bearing the legacy of all that has come before.

Wrik Trigardt, disgraced military pilot, and his companion, the ancient android Maauro, have survived their initial battles with the Guild, Confed government and the ancient Infestor Artifact. With the aid of the beautiful and canny Jaelle and the reluctant service of the former crimelord Dusko, they have established Lost Planet expeditions to go where others dare not.

Maauro and Wrik face their greatest challenge. A new area of space is being devastated by an unknown force: colonies and ships are disappearing. They accept Shasti Rainhell’s commission to find out what has happened and search for a lost cruiser. The voyage reunites them with the deadly Olivia Croyzer of Confed Intelligence. No one can imagine what awaits them on the other end of the starjump.

Wrik Trigardt ekes out a living in the Kandalor system with his small ship, Sinner. He is caught between his failed past and a grim present in service to the local crimelord, Dusko. An expedition to the Rift Asteroids promises better days, but when the well of time is disturbed no one can say what will surface.

Maauro and Wrik’s adventures continue, but will they do so together? Maauro having acquired the wealth and special materials she needs to reconstruct her severed arm, awakens from her repair to find Wrik Trigardt gone. Compelled by his dark past, Wrik has set off on a journey to redeem himself to the people he left behind. Lost Planet is being torn apart as the split between Wrik and Jaelle Tekala has become irrevocable.

A scientific expedition has disappeared in trackless space, and only the ‘Lost Planet’ agency has a shot at finding them and rescuing the grandson of Shasti Rainhell, secret ruler of Olympia. And so it is that star-pilot Wrik Trigardt and his female android partner Maauro, set off for uncharted stars while enemies known and unknown bar their path.
