Keiji DuVal is the idealistic son of a fabulously wealthy family: a romantic thinker who turned his back on the corporate world to pursue his own dreams. Fate draws them together at the Black Swan, a derelict old cargo spaceship quietly rusting away in a forgotten junkyard.Can Chase and Keiji restore the Black Swan to flight, assemble a crew, and launch themselves free of Mars into a life of interplanetary adventure? Can they learn to make a living in the cut-throat industry of freelance freight, with the occasional dash of smuggling, salvage and charter-for-hire? Can they turn the shabby old Black Swan into a ship, a business – and a home?
