Against a Dark Background

See the full ranking

Lady Sharrow was once the fearless leader of a combat team in one of the sporadic little commercial wars in the vicinity of the planet Golter. Now she is hunted by the Huhsz - a religious cult hellbent on assassinating her - and her only hope of escape is to find the last of the apocalyptically powerful Lazy Guns before the Huhsz track her down. Her journey through the exotic Golterian system is a destructive and savage odyssey into her past, and that of her family and of the system itself.
