To save his father, a Coalition scientist protecting a precious resource, after their ship is attacked, Leo stows away on a strange ship of mercenary space pirates and must decide who to trust- human or alien-to stay alive.

Other alien forces are willing to start a war over it. Leo's mother was killed in one attack, and soon after, his father, a Coalition scientist, decides it would be best for them to leave Earth behind. Their ship is attacked, Leo's father is kidnapped, and Leo and his brother are stranded in the middle of space. Theie only chance for survival: stow away on a ship of mercenary space pirates bound for who knows where and beg the captain to help him find his father. -- adapted from jacket
