Synopsis
GONEBEYOND JUSTICE
Gonebeyond space: get there and you may find freedom from torture and genocide under Jurisdiction. Yet go there at your own risk. The Rule of Law has only a tenuous hold on Gonebeyond, and undefended settlements can be exploited with impunity.
Until now. The Langsariks' Hilton Shires has forged a coalition to bring the worst of the Gonebeyond criminals--slavers--to justice. The criminal cartels that have profited from the freedom of Gonebeyond for so long aren't having any of it, and they know the key to taking down Shires is to get rid of ally, renegade Fleet Inquisitor Andrej Koscuisko. But where can they find an assassin with the moxey to "disappear" Andrej Koscuisko? Many have tried. None have succeeded.
Enter his Excellency Danyo Pefisct. Years ago he honed his torturer's craft against the Emandisan bond-involuntary Security slave Joslire Curran, once a servant to Andrej. Now Pefisct has come to Gonebeyond to enslave Andrej Koscuisko himself--all for the personal pleasure of the head of one of Jurisdiction's most powerful crime syndicates.
But the torturer from the Jurisdiction hasn't reckoned on one thing: Andrej Koscuisko is as relentless and effective as he ever was. The difference? Now Andrej serves the cause of Gonebeyond justice!
