The Path of the Fury
VENGEANCE
IS A DISH BEST SERVED HOT
Imperial Intelligence couldn't find them, the
Imperial Fleet couldn't catch them, and local defenses couldn't stop
them. It seemed the planet-wrecking pirates were invincible. But the
pirates made a big mistake when they raided ex-commando leader Alicia
DeVries' quiet home world, tortured and murdered her family, and then
left her for dead.
Since the Imperial forces seem hog-tied, Alicia
decides to turn "pirate" herself, and steals a cutting-edge AI ship from
the Empire to start her vendetta. Her fellow veterans think she's crazy,
the Imperial Fleet has shoot-on-sight orders. And of course the pirates
want her dead, too. But Alicia DeVries has two allies nobody knows
about, allies as implacable as she is: a self-aware computer, and a
creature from the mists of Old Earth's most ancient legends. And this
trio of furies won't rest until vengeance is served.
