In a world where faster-than-light travel creates vicious ghosts, and where the elegant society of the Level is in a constant struggle against the rough-and-tumble settlements in the Stacks, a promising young navel officer candidate stumbles across a dangerous secret. It will lead him across the system and into the company of a pirate captain who is much more dangerous than she appears—and eventually, into a vast war that will span planets and galaxies.
