== Plot summary ==
Zack Mbele, captain of the independent freighter Profit, needs cash fast. There’s a loan payment due on the ship, not to mention a bogus Customs duty imposed by a crooked official. They’ll seize his ship if he doesn’t pay up and he has few prospects.  
Zack Mbele has a problem. The Profit is in hock for repair costs and Kwai Chang Wu, a mobster, has bought the bank that holds the note. Either he does a job for Wu, or he’ll lose his ship. To make matters worse, his friend, Rabbit, is kidnapped, his crewmember’s family is brutally attacked, and his ex-wife, Cleo, is acting suspiciously. When Zack and his crew find themselves facing off with vicious crime bosses, criminal conspirators, deadly gangsters and a sinister goon with a bent for torture and killing, it isn’t a question of how high the body count will go, but who will make it out alive.sup>1</sup>
 
When an old friend calls with a lead on a job, Zack isn’t too picky about obeying the letter of the law. All he has to do is smuggle someone out of Highpoint, a huge space station orbiting between the Earth and the Moon.
 
It’s not all that easy, as a beautiful assassin and the Red Dragons gang complicate things. Suddenly Zack is involved in a maze of double-cross and murder as he races the Dragons and a shadowy para-military army for the greatest prize of all.<sup>1</sup>
