Warden Bissley Kloth explains to Sartoris that the Purge's engines are breaking down but that a derelict Star Destroyer is in the vicinity. Jareth Sartoris, captain of the guard on the barge, is called into the warden's office. Kale reacts by ripping the piercings out of Myss' face, and the Longo boys run back into their cell for safety from the prison gang. Myss would not have this as he had promised his goons that they could kill the boys. Predicting this, Kale tried to strike a deal with the Delphanian by giving him the weapons free of charge. After their father's death, the Longo boys attempt to make a sale with Delphanian Face Gang leader Aur Myss, who had killed their previous contact and was planning to kill the Longo boys. Plot summary Īboard the Imperial prison barge Purge, Trig Longo and his older brother Kale Longo had just watched their father die at the hands of Jareth Sartoris. For the dead are rising, soulless, unstoppable, and unspeakably hungry. But nothing can prepare them for what lies waiting on board the Star Destroyer amid its vast creaking emptiness that isn't really empty at all. The Purge's half-dozen survivors-two teenage brothers, a sadistic captain of the guards, a couple of rogue smugglers and the chief medical officer, the lone woman on board-will do whatever it takes to stay alive. But when a boarding party is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back-bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours, nearly all aboard the Purge will die in ways too hideous to imagine. When the Imperial prison barge Purge-temporary home to five hundred of the galaxy's most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels and thieves-breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope seems to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict, and seemingly abandoned. Unless there's something unknown out there with you. No fate could be more terrifying than being trapped inside deep space.
