He’s made demands for the liberation of his hostages, demands only one man can fulfill: Curt Newton, the adventurer known as Captain Future. Yet, as Curt and his strange crew race across the solar system, are they unwittingly entering a cunning trap laid for them by an old enemy?Strap in for the second installment of an epic space adventure by multiple Hugo Award-winning author ALLEN STEELE as he reinvents one of the classic Golden Age heroes of science fiction, Edmond Hamilton’s CAPTAIN FUTURE.

Curt Newton had been making a name for himself. Of course, it wasn't the name that HE would have chosen but he couldn't argue that CAPTAIN FUTURE had begun to feared by villains and criminals throughout the system. So it was with a little despair when he had recently completed a mission to Venus that demanded he stop members of the terrorist group STARRY MESSENGER only to find the the first rue love of his life was one of those he must stop...and she wasn't scared by his name at all.Now, he is interrupted in his attempt to return home after the last mission and is sent to the extreme edge of the solar system....with that old flame still in tow on his ship. And...that mission will soon reveal loyalties and betrayals he had never thought of...and enemies long thought dead.Allen Steele has delivered the second in a proposed trilogy and it's a great one. Steele states how much discovering Captain Future reprints in his early years formed his imagination and lead him to become the prolific and excellent writer that he has become (my words)… and it can be seen in this his 4th entry into the world of Edmund Hamilton's Captain Future. His love for the character comes through in each chapter and page as he has captured the atmosphere and joy of the original stories and given them a modern spin to make the more relevant to newer, younger readers.With the final book 1,500 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME looming on the horizon, the anticipation grows.
