Astro Quantum 2 (of 5)

A frozen SOS. A desperate rescue. And a captain who hides more than a face in the dark. When the PEKUOD answers a faint distress call from the ice world Ghebar, Ishmaeel and Quee-Keg join a ragged rescue that quickly goes wrong: thieves posing as survivors, savages and legendary “ice demons” from the deep, and a costly act of betrayal that leaves brave blood on the ice. All while the PEKUOD ship’s shadowed captain — Akhab — vows a bloody reckoning against ghosts of the past and the galaxy’s deadliest prey: the Moloks.
