Deadly assassin X-7 has never failed to complete a mission - until now. Unmasked and unarmed, he narrowly escapes from the Rebels with his life and little else. His cover may be blown, but he`s not returning to Commander Rezi Soresh until his target has been eliminated. This time, he has a new plan. He`ll gather six of the best pilots in the galaxy - all of them roguish mercenaries who care nothing about money - and turn them loose on Red counts on his pilot`s mercenary instincts to keep them in line. But one of them has a secret that could cost X-7 his victory.
