Slave Traders introduces you to a new universe filled with darkness. It is ruled by Slave Traders and the Ninth Faction. Within this universe are the Rangers themselves, an ability based race of humanoids. The main character, Cameron Lynn Summers, is a Ranger with some amazing abilities. Freedom is an unknown commodity in Known-Space at this point in time, a fact that Cameron must learn the hard way as she is forced into service for Slave Lord James Ferrell and works alongside his bodyguard Alex Sheridan, also a Ranger. It is an exciting journey that involves the Draith war and new hybrid creatures called Tuskerons. Alex Sheridan says it best, "Welcome to the Damned".
