Last Call. Hell's Jesters, #6

For many, the wages of interplanetary peace will be as deadly as the wages of war. The Grand Galactic Alliance, bled white by nearly three years of civil war, has collapsed into dysfunction and fascism. The breakaway Union of Free Stars eyes them uneasily across newly-established borders. The chatter across the space lanes is of treaties and armistice. But no one trusts it yet. The Hell's Jesters have become a liability for all.
They know too much of both sides' crimes, too many politicians' secrets. And now an old enemy resurfaces to seek vengeance, armed with a private fleet and a homicidal AI that knows the Jesters better than they know themselves. There will no safe place left in the galaxy. It's closing time for freedom fighters. It's Last Call for the Jesters.
