Following on almost directly after the previous adventure, Mirror, Cold Fury opens with Vila having apparently escaped Travis’ grasp just long enough to send an audio signal with location beacon to the Liberator.  He’s then locked up again, and suffers Travis asking him to tell him something which Vila is […]
