The nightmare was real. The monsters that surrounded him were solid, living, breathing things; he'd found out just how solid when one of them had cuffed him for not working fast enough. The power behind the blow was terrifying. Cal had flown backwards and smashed into one of the ammunition crates he was supposed to be loading. He was sure his rib was broken. Breathing had been painful ever since, and sleep, when it came at all, was more of a struggle than ever.  \nWhat was a broken rib, though, compared to the things they had done to Davran? Or to poor crippled Klaetas? Or to old Jovas, the pilot, when he'd collapsed from exhaustion? Best not to think about that. Wasn't it enough that he saw it every time he closed his eyes? The images of sickening torment were practically laser-etched onto the backs of his eyelids. Most nights, after he and the others had been pushed and kicked into an empty cargo container and locked there to rest in the stifling dark, he would wake up screaming. Quick but gentle hands would reach out to reassure him then, one always closing insistently over his mouth. Nobody wanted the monsters to return and investigate the noise.  \nLiving in such a constant haze of fear, pain and misery, Cal had lost count of the days. How long had it been-ten? twenty, perhaps? -since the monsters had boarded The Silverfin. She and her crew had been contracted to scavenge naval wrecks from old war zones on the periphery of the Maelstrom. That hadn't lasted long. Early in the first leg of the operation, a bizarre ship, its prow constructed in the likeness of a grinning, nightmarish beast, had ambushed her, shooting out her main thrusters and ramming her from the side. Captain Benin had recognised the profile of the attacking craft immediately. Aliens, he said, man-haters.  \nCal never imagined he would see the captain so afraid. Benin kept calling them greenskins, though their massive, leathery bodies were varying shades of brown. When they stormed the ship, the captain had ordered everyone onto the floor. 'Don't look up!' he had told them. 'No eye contact!' he had said. 'Fighting back will only get us killed.'  \nIt was the first time Cal had ever heard a quaver in the big man's voice.
