Book description
A nomadic starship, the Sardonyx (a. k.a. Yago) Net is manned by the
Yago family, with Zed Yago as its captain. The Sardonyx Net is
responsible for picking up space trash (i. e., convicts) in the Sardonyx
sector. Zed gets great pleasure from torturing the convicts before
selling them as slaves. The authorities of the planets in the Sector
turn a blind eye as the Yagos drug and torture the criminals. But the
Yagos' entire operation is at risk when there is a shortage of the drug
they use to control the criminals and when Dana Ikoro arrives. In this
story of forbidden love, crime, corrupt justice, and lucrative business,
the Yago family must fight to keep their business stable. Elizabeth A.
