Four Free Traders in their battered old star-freighter are given a new, alien crewmember, who bears a different outlook on life. They find themselves exploring an ancient stellar outpost, a long-lost and long-forgotten installation in the middle of the interstellar outback. Their goal is simple salvage, with an eye to profit. The outpost, however, has plans of its own. As often has been borne out, exploring ancient ruins can be one of the most hazardous of activities.
