Drunk and Disorderly (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648884446)

Joe Smith wants to be forgotten.

On the lawless mining rock of El Hoyo, far beyond the reach of his family, Joe has built a life out of anonymity, cheap whiskey, and dangerous work. He's a nobody now-and that's exactly how he wants it.

But fate has other plans.

When his past comes looking for him, Joe's carefully constructed exile shatters. Hunted by the ruthless Galactic Trade Consortium and entangled in alien politics, Joe is forced to face those he abandoned.

As war brews on the frontier and the truth behind Joe's descent into alcoholism begins to surface, one question becomes impossible to ignore:

When hiding is no longer an option and the only way forward is to accept the truth, can Joe face his demons-or will the stars finally swallow him whole?
