Vipers' Nest — Holly Lisle

When betrayal comes home, where does home hide?

When the Longview risked everything to save the life of the doomed courtesan Suzee Delight, Bailey's Irish Space Station stepped up and offered the ship sanctuary. But the Pact Worlds Alliance cannot and will not permit its foes to escape destruction. Now an isolated space station, an ex-Death Circus ship, and a tiny band of pirate hunters must hold off the deadliest force in Settled Space.

MEET THE LONGVIEW - An Ancient Spaceship Resurrected To Transport Conspiracy

Inhabited by a crew of misfits fleeing nightmare pasts, with a cargo of Condemned slated to die at the hands of the highest bidders, and with a passenger roster made up exclusively of people NOT who they claim to be, The Longview serves the hidden agenda of an eccentric recluse bent on playing puppetmaster to all of Settled Space.
