He makes contact with an alien force from beyond Earth’s galaxy, and offers to join them in their attempt to enter and conquer Federation space. To make that possible, he must track down a neurosurgeon named Docholli, the only man who knows the location of Star One, the Federation’s top secret Central Control. But Docholli is on the run too. During his attempts to trace Docholli, Travis runs foul of a pair of bounty hunters out to collect the Federation’s price on his head. Only one of them, Kane, survives the ensuing firefight. And Kane promises to get his revenge on Travis, no matter how long it takes...

Kane, unaware that Travis was killed on Star One, still hopes to catch up with him. When he discovers who Blake is, and that Blake got to Travis first, Kane exacts his revenge from Blake instead, by leaving an indelible mark of his own...
