In the bustling streets of Crater City, a weary reporter at the Martian Globe is thrust into a feverish hunt for the galaxy’s most infamous burglar. Known only as the Nebula, this phantom thief has slipped past every security system, pilfering priceless jewels, priceless art, and even leaving behind a cryptic blue card shaped like Orion. The city’s elite are desperate for a lead, and the paper’s editors push the journalist to chase a story that could finally unmask the legend.
Behind the headlines, Jimmy Starr lives a double life that few suspect. By day he appears to be an ordinary citizen, but by night he dons the mantle of the Nebula, pulling off daring heists that blur the line between hero and outlaw. Haunted by his father’s murder and driven by a mix of vengeance and a twisted sense of justice, he walks a razor‑thin edge between fame and infamy, leaving readers to wonder whether the Nebula is a criminal mastermind or a modern‑day Robin Hood.
