Mos Denn, dying, seeks one last chance at extending his life.  After a surgery he doesn't truly survive, he finds himself serving an alien crew. With little chance of returning home, Mos Denn must strive to build a place he can belong, all while trying to survive his new allies' unpredictable customs and understand their oddly emotional behavior.   The galaxy is a place of endless change, and Denn finds himself needing to change as well. ------ ------ Big thanks to jazghoxt for the updated cover art.  She's a wonderful person and one of my greatest sources of inspiration.
