How much space does one princess need?The sun is dying . . . and it's happening way too damn fast.With the clock ticking, the Nine Planets' only hope of survival rests on a fancy space station and the alien artifact it's carrying. Which is why it really sucks when some jackass doesn't want the universe saved and blows that station up - while you're still on it.So if your only choices are flaming death or stealing a flying hunk of space junk - you pick that busted-ass spaceship. Even if it leaves seven strangers with deadly secrets trapped together: a princess, a prisoner, a con artist, a warrior, a priestess, a mercenary, and an asshole in charge of us all.Now every faction in the galaxy is hunting this ship - from the Sisterhood to the Corporation, and the rebellion's joining in on the fun, too. We just need to stop drinking, fighting, and screwing long enough to evade them all and save the freaking universe . . . somehow.Because apparently the only thing standing between a dying sun and ultimate salvation is seven unlikely misfits . . . ahem, heroes.

El sol se está muriendo y, con él, todos los planetas de la galaxia. La única esperanza de sobrevivir se esconde en una estación espacial y en el artefacto alienígena que contiene. Por eso es realmente terrible cuando, por culpa de un idiota que no quiere que se salve el universo, la estacion estalla contigo adentro.Y como tus unicas opciones son arder en llamas o huir en un trozo de basura espacial voladora, eliges lo segundo. Incluso si eso implica encerrar juntos a siete desconocidos con secretos mortales: una princesa, una prisionera en fuga, un estafador, un guerrero, una sacerdotisa, un mercenario y yo mismo, el imbecil a cargo de todos nosotros.Ahora todas las facciones de la galaxia persiguen nuestra nave desde la Hermandad hasta la Corporacion y parece que los rebeldes tambien se han unido a la fiesta. Solo tenemos que dejar de beber, pelear y acostarnos entre nosotros el tiempo suficiente para librarnos de ellos y salvar el maldito universo. Porque, aparentemente, lo unico que se interpone entre un sol moribundo y la salvacion final son siete inadaptados... o siete heroes.
