The Shipmakers have convinced Fergus to finally deal with unfinished
business he's been avoiding for half his life: Earth. [He] hasn't been back
to his homeworld since he was fifteen, when he stole his cousin's
motorcycle and ran away. It was his first theft, and nothing he's stolen
since has been anywhere near so easy, or weighed so heavily on his
conscience. Many years and many jobs later, Fergus reluctantly agrees that
now is the time to return the motorcycle and face his family.
Unfortunately, someone has gotten to the motorcycle before him--Publisher
marketing.
