It began... when freesailer, plunderer Jamas Oregas and his beautiful business partner set out to bilk the unsuspecting denizens of the backwater plant Llango.

It got complicated... when Jamas, who knew the ins and outs of stargates, was double-crossed and had to disappear- and fast.

It moved into high gear... when Jamas landed on Prime- a repository planet of galactic history- and learned of a mysterious race that held the master key to all the stargates for all the worlds.

And it finally exploded... when Jamas himself decided to scour the galaxy, looking for that long-lost race, following a trail that would lead to power beyond his wildest dreams- if he somehow managed to stay alive!
