"Jant Mol had never set foot on a planet before. She was an ambitious young researcher just starting out her career, and looking for a break. When the esteemed anthrospeculator Doctor Sona Tchal offered her the opportunity to study an enigmatic species out past the verge of civilized space, Jant jumped at the chance to explore new worlds.

Wain Anun Detop was the captain of the broken-down starship Lonely Blip. He had spent six months exploring the limits of complimentary booze at a remote outpost. When Doctor Tchal offered to fund repairs in exchange for his services as pilot to a frontier moon, Wain couldn't turn her down, but it didn't take long for the contract to prove too good to be true.

When their presence on the surface disturbs an unexpected and hostile intelligence, it will take every resource Wain, Jant, and Doctor Tchal have to survive and answer the questions that brought them there in the first place: what are the vagrants, and who built the vagrant moon?"
