[edit] Summary

Maris is a down-on-her-luck Space Policewoman/Bounty Hunter deeply in debt. Why? Maris is a Thanatosian, and Thanatosians have six times the strength of a normal human being. So to keep the destruction her race does to a minimum, Thanatosians are made to wear harnesses that limit their strength. But Maris always seems to destroy one thing or another when she's on patrol, so when she hears that an intergalactic prince has been kidnapped, and that his father is willing to pay a fortune for his return, will this be her ticket out of debt and into fame?
