Finlay Campbell, once the most fabled fop and dandy of his age, and under another name secretly The Masked Gladiator, has embraced his new life as outlaw and terrorist with a vengeance. The most valuable weapon in the Underground’s arsenal, he’s been cut at, shot at, chased halfway to hell and back by Imperial forces, and now things are getting really hairy. The esper leaders have chosen Finlay as the only man for their special rescue mission. He’s to be dropped right in the middle of Golgotha’s interrogation center, surrounded by legions of armed guards, and it’s up to him alone to free the valued esper hostage, and fight his way out. This isn’t a challenge. It’s a death sentence.

The Rebellion has begun with the destruction of the Empire's Tax & Tithe system, but the real test is at hand. Who can rally and coordinate the rebel forces? The legendary, but declining hero, Jack Random? The revived Giles Deathstalker, whose most recent battle with the Empire was 900 years earlier? Or will Owen, his scholarly descendant, have greatness thrust upon him? Each of them has been transformed by a walk through the Madness Maze. For Hazel D'ark the pressure of expectations may be overwhelming and her troubled past may never let her go.

Things are strange out on the Rim. Captain John Silence and his crew discover just how strange when they encounter a legend from The Empire's past–The Champion, a starship reported lost with all hands over a hundred years before. Elsewhere, Jack Random, Ruby Journey, and Alexander Storm begin their first mission of the new rebellion, to rally the beleaguered underground on Technos III, and find some way to halt production of the Empire's new stardrive. There is one little obstacle. Clan Wolfe and the massed warrior priests of the Empire's Church intend to crush the underground, spilling as much rebel blood as they can.

The great rebellion has come to Technos III, a factory planet decimated by the war between its ruling class, the Wolfe clan, and the Rejects, a brutalized people in servitude to the Empire's stardrive production facility. Jack Random, Ruby Journey, and aging hero Alexander Storm have been sent to help the Rejects overthrow their oppressors and sabotage production of the new Imperial stardrive. In the process, Jack and Ruby, transformed forever by the Madness Maze, may discover things about themselves they don't really want to know.
