In a universe awash with space elves and giant reptiles where Murderbot would not be out of place, widowed Maryn Alessi needs to return the ashes of her late husband to his home planet. That is a major problem because Maryn has a phobia for space flight. But with the assistance of her old comrades in arms, she makes her way aboard the Golden Girl and they set off. But a few detours ensued, there was smuggling, war crimes to witness, and refugees to rescue. So the old team took up the mantle of protector at least one more time and went off to slay the metaphorical dragon. Managing to survive, more or less intact, there may be future deeds of derring-do in the future! A nice space opera tale in a compact title!
