.

As one of the most decorated soldiers in the Confederation s arsenal, Tex has survived covert operations in every steaming hellhole.

What he doesn t know is that this lowly cluster secretly harbors perhaps the greatest threat ever faced by the Confederation.

But Tex hasn t earned his reputation as a well honed killing machine for nothing…
