In the
distant future, humans have traveled to the stars and colonized the planets
around them. But the space lanes have become a throwback to the days of the
swashbucklers, with a twist. There is the space fleet, representing law, the
pirates, representing chaos, and the Outlaws, who fit somewhere in between--some
are altruistic spacefarers, others are opportunistic fortune-seekers. Enter our
heroes, a mechanically inclined kid and an older kid who's a crack-shot and even
smoother with the ladies... but his real dream is to go to space. Their business
is Starwind and Hawkins, and they'll do anything for a buck, be it bodyguard or
farm equipment repair. Or both, as the case may be--when a beautiful client
shows up asking for some hard to find hardware and physical protection, they
jump at the chance. But they're about to get more than they bargained for. You
see, it seems that their client is more than she appears (ooh, big surprise
there), and she has some very powerful, and very unpleasant, wizards after her.
Things go from bad to worse, but it looks like this just might be their chance
to get off the rock and into the wilds of space--and a whole slew of adventures.
