Smooth-talking scoundrel Jace Lawson has a foolproof plan to escape the Oubliette: break into the hangar, get to his shuttles, and leave everyone else wondering how he pulled it off. The only complication is surviving long enough to get there. Fortunately, the Guardians bring all the muscle and firepower he could ask for, and they're eager to use it. Good thing Jace never worries about the odds, because to anyone else, this would look like an exceptionally bad idea.
