A deadly airborne virus has infected Earth, but Glomovine, the only known cure, would not survive the six-week voyage unless LYNX corporation offered to use its jumpgate network. A lone mercenary, aided by a probe with an attitude, a scientist and his daughter, is exploring one of five worlds trying to find out why LYNX refused to save Earth and how to create another jumpgate before it's too late. There are missions to undertake, allies to make and enemies to fight; but time is of the essence.
