About this listen

Bitter Amandine and her pirate crew have plundered the stars around Votive City for decades, building a fearsome reputation. But after two decades of near-death experiences, they're getting too old for this shit. They're willing to hang up their blasters, retire, and finally get some rest . . . after one last job.

When Amandine hears that an old rival is planning to kidnap a highly protected Navigator, she decides to swoop in, stage a rescue and press her for a reward, But the navigator has other plans. She turns the tables on Amandine and reveals that she was hoping the infamous pirate would catch wind of the meeting and interfere. She wants a ride to The Clutch, a graveyard for the ships of an extinct alien race, to chase down her missing mentor. What they discover will change the whole galaxy forever.
