Marshall Hunter dreams of flying high and fast, but the Space Force has other plans for him. Assigned as a search-and-rescue officer on the cislunar cruiser U.S.S. Borman, he finds himself rescuing lost spacefarers and derelict satellites, quickly growing weary of the routine. His situation shifts when a billionaire couple goes missing en route to a near-Earth asteroid, prompting the Borman to embark on a daring interplanetary mission to locate them before they crash into Mars. However, as they approach the asteroid, the Borman becomes disabled, leaving its crew in a perilous position. With the ship out of commission, chaos erupts in cislunar space as critical satellites fail and lunar mineral shipments vanish. The crew suspects these events are interconnected and not mere coincidence. Marshall faces an impossible dilemma, needing to choose between saving his crewmates and their civilian charges. As he navigates this crisis, he must summon all his strength and resourcefulness to confront the challenges ahead.
