Overcome by his desire for revenge against a traitor who left a fellow team member dead, the cyborg Xris learns where his enemy has been hiding under an assumed name but is forced to team up with him when a new threat prevails.



This swashbuckling sequel to The Knights of the Black Earth sees the Mag Force 7 chasing an ancient robot that has the power to shut down entire space lanes. When this automation is accidentally activated, and then lost, the Mag Force team knows the deadly consequences. If the alien Corasians get their hands on it, the entire universe could be ultimately destroyed.



Many years before he formed the Mag Force 7 team of commandos-for-hire, Xris was a government agent, betrayed by one of his own while investigating the galaxy-wide crime organization known as the Hung, and caught in a warehouse explosion which killed his partner and left him a cyborg. Now, while the rest of the Mag Force 7 is on a mission to overthrow a small planet's despot, Xris has been set up on false charges and sent to a prison planet where he's blackmailed into helping the Hung leaders escape. But who engineered Xris' imprisonment and why? And can he find the answers without getting himself killed....
