When 2000 lives are at stake, the Defiant rebel team have no choice but to intervene. But in this dark conspiracy, who can the rebels trust? When word gets to Jones, Dark Horse rebel mastermind, about a plot to attack a civilian cruise liner, the Defiant plan an intervention. They assume this is more than what it seems: a trap set by Specter or the Confederacy-"or both"-to acquire a Dark Horse ship rigged with Sarah West's super-advanced technology. But without evidence, they can't know which of their enemies are willing to kill innocents for tech treasure. They need intel while they plan for countermeasures. And they set a trap of their own. Though Sadie's androids and Robo-raptors could make all the difference, will the Dark Horse rebels outsmart their enemies one more time?
