![]() ![]() The story gets going when Frey accepts a mission to pirate a freighter on behalf of a wealthy client offering a staggering payment. While the crew is neither close knit nor particularly successful, the Ketty Jay offers the individuals a means to keep one step ahead of the things they are trying to keep behind them. Supporting the crew are two fighter pilots, one a burned out Navy veteran, who is ill at ease with life outside his jet, and the other a young pilot whose fearless flying almost makes up for his complete lack of smarts. The crew consists of a formerly successful doctor undone by his alcoholism, an escaped slave from a hostile neighboring country, a newly recruited navigator with mysterious abilities, and an aristocratic practioner of the forbidden occult art of Daemonism (and his loyal golem). Everyone on board, the captain included, has something from their past that they are running or hiding from. Plot Summary: The book introduces us to Captain Darian Frey and the ragtag crew of his airship, the Ketty Jay.
