Extended description

Book 3 in the Backworlds Series.

In the far future, humanity settles the stars, bioengineering its descendents to survive in a harsh universe.

To secure his future, Craze must propel his world into a more prosperous era. Only days away from the grand opening of his new and improved tavern, he is confronted by a loony Backworlder intent on mucking up his plans. Gaunt and trembling, she claims her spaceship is possessed. She also has a connection to the underworld that shakes loose the dark past of one of Craze’s closest friends. It all threatens to end Craze’s prosperity before it begins.

Meanwhile off world, Captain Talos works desperately to outwit the mercenary Jixes and lure them away from his and Craze’s budding prospects. The mind-control weapon Talos uses against them is wearing thin, and his next move may be his last.

Will Craze and Talos’s efforts bring about a grand new age of boom or damn them to forever struggle in the dust?

Review by: Rob Sitler on March 16, 2013 : (no rating)
In this third book from the series, the author continues the story of Craze and friends.
This may be the best book of the series so far. And that is saying something.
Great storyline. Fast moving. And some great in depth characterization, especially the fleshing out of Dactyl.
The only problem I have with the book is I'm done reading it. Now I have to wait for the next one to see what happens next. LOL
Thanks, M. Pax!!!
