Stopover at the Backworlds' Edge

Nothing sane travels the starway. Today it brings disaster.

In the far future, humanity settles the stars, bioengineering its descendants to survive in a harsh universe. This is the second book in the science fiction series, The Backworlds. A space opera adventure.

Revenge is on Craze's mind. He chews on it every day along with the relentless dust on Pardeep Station. He dreams of grander wealth, enough to make his father choke.

That's the dream consuming him when the interstellar portal opens, spitting out a ship that should no longer exist. A battleship spoiling for a fight. Yet the war with the Foreworlds ended two generations ago.

One wrong move and the shaky truce will end. So will Craze and his friends.

Trigger: "Tell ya what....I've bought ALL the M.Pax books I can find. Great characters....interesting plotlines...realistic stories...Love Them."

C.E.: "M. Pax has really captured the essence of these characters. their losses and fears hopes and dreams. When I read this book I am transported to another place far from the troubled lives we have here. To a place rich in description. a place to escape the melancholy of my life, the sitting long hours at out posts. and distraction and adventure to be whisked away."
