Publisher's summary[edit | edit source]

A DEADLY FAVOR!

To pay back a debt, VALANCE undertakes a rescue mission to save the crew of a crippled REBEL transport.
That dangerous job will take the bounty hunter deep into the heart of the pirate-infested space in THE OUTER RIM.
But lying in wait is both an old enemy…and a new threat!

Plot summary[edit | edit source]

THE TERMINUS GAUNTLET
PART 1
MOVING TARGET

The Unbroken Clan syndicate wants the cyborg bounty hunter
Valance dead.

After striking a tenuous bargain to throw 4-LOM and Zuckuss off his
trail, Valance is desperate to remove the price on his head before more
and more hunters pick up his scent.

To make matters worse, Valance owes favors to powerful individuals.
And there's not a seedy corner of the galaxy where he can hide for very
long....
