Proceena lives on a knife's edge. Its society still reels from the Second Wolf War almost two decade before. The world has become a dangerous blend of disenfranchised poor, ex-military gangsters, and wannabe tin pot dictators struggling in a seething cauldron made hotter and hotter by the lecherous greed of Kentig Industries and her officers. That cauldron boils over after a terrorist attack compromises the world's food supply. People starve, foreign corporations offer their help-for a price, and Proceena rushes towards civil war. Andora Clabar, is doing all she can as acting Indigo Affairs Minister to hold the fragile half-public, half-corporate co-op government together and is desperate for the help of her son, Louis. But Louis doesn't share his mother's humanitarian passion for public service and is soon recruited by his friend and mentor, Eugene Brownlowe, to undermine Andora's efforts. Louis resists but is soon drawn against his will into a plot against his own mother. Nick Clabar has endured protective exile from his mother's life ever since those terrible moments in Mount Krisminski almost twenty years ago. The trauma of that exile has left him scarred, and he lives a daredevil life of corsair racing and hedonistic debauchery. But it's just an empty shell of meaningless sex and unbreakable addiction. He soon finds himself broke and stranded in a galactic backwater. His only opportunity seems to come from the misery of others: Proceena's starving masses need pilots to shuttle in the humanitarian aid from Earth. Nick must either answer the call, or fall into a bottomless pit of cyclical deprivation and abuse. Each must figure out his role in this dangerous world and come to terms with his failures and look for ways to grow into an unlikely hero. However, nothing is ever as it seems in this galaxy, and these mismatched brothers and their friends must ferret out the true intentions of purported allies. survive a deadly cat-and-mouse games against assassins, spies, and rogue werewolves, and battle against mercenaries from across the galaxy. Will Proceena become the focus of a galaxy-wide shooting war? Or will it simply become a proxy battlefield of never-ending civil strife? Can the Clabars and their motley collection of friends change this fate? Or will they fall to the seduction of power and the swift death of betrayal? Join these flawed, unwilling adventurers on their mission to uncover The Volga Cell and find out!
