Specter? Projection? On the edge of human space floats an ancient alien derelict. A Ghost Ship? Those who get too close are visited by a glowing green translucent figure who begs, "Don't let me die – again!" Alibi Jones has been reassigned to Covert Ops. His cover: running cargo out past the colony world Depot from a new remote base – The Hornet's Nest. Alibi gets to know his new crew as they get a handle on running small cargos and cover operations. When they get assigned to check out the so-called "ghost ship", people start dying. Again.
