The Black Derelict

After the events of the Serpent Fleet Captain Stand and the crew of the Trawler have taken a nice little vacation but it isn't long before Paul lines up another assignment. While unusual for a salvage crew they agree to locate and rescue a lost colony ship. It isn't long before that assignment leads them into something far more dangerous. It could be the salvage find of a lifetime or it could be an alien deathtrap ready to ensnare all of humanity. In addition to the salvage work an investigation is underway into one of the Trawlers crewmembers in association with a war crime that nearly escaped detection.
