Scavenging in the desert, Jansi stumbles across PIM, a crashed Stelcorp star ship. PIM is damaged and needs the boy’s help, but Jansi has never encountered a star ship before, much less one capable of thought and expression. Together they forge an unlikely friendship – which must stand the test of the galaxy’s mightiest force.
