Running from an assassination he comes upon Miri Robertson, a not-so-retired mercenary soldier born to trouble on a back world and facing disastrously uneven odds in a firefight with her former employer's enemies. Forced to intervene, Val Con becomes a target himself, and the pair are hunted, hounded across space, becoming unwilling partners of necessity. Facing terrible danger from within and without, their own skills and training argue that one of them must die if either is to survive. But Val Con has faced tricky situations before, and he's not about to let something like impossible odds get him down. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout\u003ci\u003e Dragon in Exile\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"[S]prawling and satisfying. . . .
