The Barnacles of Ægir

From decorated fighter pilot, war hero and rising military star to accused traitor, exile, and drug smuggler, Jerrik Larson has finally hit rock bottom. Shot down on the cold watery world of Ægir, he's marooned with a dead ship, alone on a harsh, uninhabited planet, desperately struggling to save the only thing he has left to lose: his life. He's in for a surprise, because Ægir has its own secrets, including one worth an incalculable fortune that has the potential to change not only the Federation of Allied Sectors and its most basic technology, but humanity itself...if he can just get it off that freezing ball of water and rock. But the world has another secret as well, and one that will affect him far more; Jerrik is not as alone as he thinks he is. When his past finally tracks him down, Jerrik finds himself battling, not only for survival this time, but for his honor, his fortune and his race...and for love, with the future of all of White Space riding in the balance.
