Synopsis

M'tak Ka'fek completes the epic saga of Captain Jack Sutton and the crew of the Peggy Sue. Book three of the T'aafhal Inheritance trilogy finds Earth in a desperate battle for survival and Capt. Jack Sutton stranded 1500 light-years from home. After the narrow escape from Sirius at the end of book two, the crew is split—the majority returning to Earth with Gretchen and Ludmilla, while fewer than a score are trapped aboard an ancient T'aafhal battle cruiser, the M'tak Ka'fek. Traveling far across the Orion Arm through a wormhole to escape a near nova strength explosion, Captain Jack finds himself far from home in a spaceship that is almost out of fuel. Jack and his band of buccaneers are forced to fight for double dealing aliens to get the antimatter they need to return to their home. During their absence, Ludmilla, TK, Gretchen, Billy Ray and the rest are forced to defend a ravaged Earth. The Dark Lords pummel Earth's survivors while in a race against time Jack and crew race to refuel the M'tak Ka'fek. Will they find what they seek in time to return home and defend Earth?
