When they begin to return armed with unknown weapons and attack ships and space stations, humanity quickly discovers that it has been in a war for months that it had no idea about. The Mysterious Corsairs attack without warning, never attempting contact, and at the slightest risk of their ship being manned, they launch total self-destruction. People have been fighting them for almost ten years, but no one has seen a Corsair alive, except for the kidnapped crews. The ruthless enemy is the same mystery as at the beginning of the war. UTSS Salamis was to be the first ship to man the corsair vessel and get answers to the most pressing questions about the mysterious adversary. Instead, she barely escapes the lost battle and is now holed up in the upper corona of the red giant Gamma Crucis, where only an experimental protective shield protects her from the blazing inferno. In the shadow of the sun, Salamis should have been safe, but as the discovery of the body of the murdered technician soon proves, the Corsairs are much closer than any of the crew thought...
