IN HIS BROTHER'S FOOTSTEPS... Harley Rassor is a simple farm boy in a complex universe—more than happy to work the land of planet Slewis with his father. His restless older brother left to join the elite mercenary corps, Able's Aces... and paid with his life. Now, Harley's father wants him to join the fight—and learn what happened to his brother.
