It should have been a quick in-and-out, an easy paycheck for an easy hit. They should have been able to blow in, blow away the little village of green-skinned guys called Skyes, and blow out before anyone knew what was happening. They’re the Star Slammers — they’ve done it a million times harder a million times before. But when they got there, it was like the Skyes . . . they were waiting. Like they knew someone had put a hit on them. And they were ready to hit back. When it was over, Commander Rojas had become the first Star Slammer ever captured alive! And if the Skyes have their way, he won’t stay alive for long!
