Rogue Element - Federation War, #1

Thrown headfirst into a magic fueled universe, Rei Phoenix has spent much of her adult life evading the galactic super power, the Federation. Most would find making a living in her situation difficult, but Rei finds it easily accomplished if you don't let details like laws bog you down. Unfortunately for her, even in a vast universe of possibilities, you can exhaust all your options of places to run.
Forced to accept a contract that brings her dangerously close to her enemies, Rei and her crew are charged with wiping out ancient knowledge that could alter the power structure of the galaxy forever. The payout supposedly will make their other jobs pale in comparison. They just have to survive long enough to enjoy the spoils.
