Some choices change lives. Other choices define them.
Damien Montgomery is as much a nobody as a Mage of the star-spanning Protectorate of Mars can be. Trained as a Jump Mage, one of the elite who teleport ships across interstellar space, he lacks the connections to find a ship that will take him. Until pirates and politics strand Captain David White of the jump freighter Blue Jay in his home system. The two men's matching needs birth a choice and a partnership that will take them from high-end orbitals to prisons to alien graveyards in forgotten star systems. In the shadows of the Protectorate, Damien is faced with a simple question: who is he in the dark? In celebration of the tenth anniversary of the first Starship’s Mage novel, Glynn Stewart is proud to bring you this new revised edition. Please note that while this edition has been edited and revised for clarity, the story and events remain the same.
