Longshots (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781963500110)

What happens when your joyride on your uncle's scrap-heap starship turns into a life-or-death mission to save the galaxy?

For Chase Conrad and his nine-year-old brother, Lock, living on their lazy uncle's salvage ship in space mostly means working. It's all they've got, though, and when Uncle Harel's latest bad idea earns him a detention cell with bail so high the number might as well be made up, they might even lose that.

Scheming to save him, the boys borrow his ship and head out into space to find the New Terran Governor's daughter, Bree, whose disappearance has generated a whopping reward. But when the revolutionary leader responsible for the girl's kidnapping captures the boys as well, the three kids must work together to escape.

Even if they can get free, they'll be on their own in deep space. The trio won't know who to trust, and that's just the tip of the asteroid. Unless they can find a way to somehow put a stop to the rebel plot to trigger interplanetary war, Uncle Harel sitting in detention will be the least of their problems.
