Clues are on the alien ship, but various factions want the secrets for themselves. Adam and the salvage crew get into various scrapes along the way. They also find out that humans are better and stronger than most other species they encounter.
The characters behave believably enough, the uneasy alliance between the salvagers and Adam as they get to know about each other is done quite well.
The other species all have their own quirks and customs to make them unique.
