The Mystic Avenger — Thomas W. Brucato

In the midst of a well-earned, three-month rest, Dragon Team is called back into action to investigate an apparent kidnapping and the theft of an ancient relic. Their search pits them against some surprisingly powerful opposition, and hints at an archaic, potentially planet-killing weapon. With time running out, the team is hard-pressed to learn if the weapon truly exists and, if so, to stop it from being used. For Steel, the mission could have unexpectedly deep, personal consequences. For the galaxy, it could determine the fate of an entire civilization.
