Starhunter

Captain Dante Montana oversees 18-year old Percy's first manual docking of the Trans-Utopian. On Luna, Dante reunites with MacDuff, a friend dying from cancer. Darius orders Luc to capture Eccleston, a geneticist who may hold the key to "The Divinity Cluster", alien genes that may affect the future of human kind.

Against Dante's and Luc's warnings, Percy befriends one of a dangerous criminal team the Trans-Utopian is taking to an automated prison on the inferno face of Mercury. The consequence of a breakout Percy unwittingly aided, place Dante and Luc at death's door in the fierce heat of Mercury's sunward side.

The crew tries to intervene in a religious cult's mass suicide flying their ship into the sun. Cult leader "Brother 13" spares only his young wife, an Acolyte and himself. Luc falls under his unnatural influence as Percy tries to make his wife see she is being abused by the charismatic group-head. Brother 13 plans to take over the Trans-Utopian.

Dante and Luc have just capture Petrakis, a man who enjoys mass murder when the Trans-Utopian is commandeered by Jup-Fed Special Forces transporting Ire, a girl with amazing powers who may be infected with a mind-altering virus.

Dante and Luc hunt Kovan, a Calisto War criminal who murdered thousands in medical experiments, now disguised as a mine operator on distant Pluto. Once there, Kovan takes over the Trans-Utopian's AI, using the customized "Billy Ray Virus" which takes over the ship and plunges it into a deadly decaying orbit.

Dante and Luc pick up the scientist Nazreen, who is suspected of murder, with her son Ajit. Nazreen uses an experimental system to take control of Dante's making it impossible for him to disobey her. Meanwhile Percy and equally young Ajit find a romantic connection. He warns her that his mother poses a danger to the ship and crew, putting him at odds with his dangerous Mom.
