Valentine is used to walking the muddy streets of a medieval city, but now he's in space. And space is big.The crew undergo injections to put language nanobots into their systems. A good plan, an even better plan if it had worked. Instead, the nanobots turn the crew into the Undead.And pirates turn up to join the party. Not a problem for a hero. Since we don't have one, we must rely on Valentine. A man comfortable around violence, possessing poor social skills and the unerring ability to choose the wrong option. He's a thug, but he's our thug.
