With a krew of misfits, meks, and mutineers, he sets out on a quest for loot and glory. This time, though, Horntoof may have bitten off more than he can chew – the kaptin has instructed his boyz to plunder the hunting grounds of the legendary rogue trader Lord Captain Antoinette von Hume. Deadly, resourceful, and merciless, the pirate queen of the Halo Stars has been pillaging her way across the void for decades, and an upstart freebooter with a big hat isn't about to get in her way. But Horntoof has his eyes on the biggest prize of all, and he has a plan – one that will take all his guile, all his kunnin’, and all his dakka. Da Freebooterz Code is going to make him a legend… as long as von Hume doesn’t obliterate him first. Written by Justin Woolley.
