Cross of Empire

Derek Sullivan didn't set out to be a hero. He just wanted to enjoy Festival time in Ilium like any other tourist. Then his suitcase is stolen and suddenly Derek Sullivan becomes a wanted man. Pursued by the Terrans as a traitor, everyone believes he is a Hrakan spy - even the treacherous Hraka themselves! They rescue him from the Terran law enforcers, but his ordeal is not over - because it is only a matter of time before they discover their mistake and then Derek's problems really begin.
