SPACER

Dive into a fresh, lively, and welcome space opera adventure from the author of JOVE

In a galaxy dominated and owned by a tyrannical corporate dystopia, all is not lost. A flicker of freedom still exists on the lawless fringes of that sprawling totalitarian hegemony.

Collecting space debris for profit is a hardscrabble life choice, and Alto Straker, spacer captain of the fringe-running salvage spaceship 'Scavenger', is living a precarious existence amongst outlawed aliens. So, when he and his big green alien crew of one are offered a chance to pick up some extra funds, they grab at it.

Giving a short planet-hopping ride to a beautiful, fiercely capable human female fleeing powerful forces seems like an easy payday. It's not.

The spacer and his first-mate become entangled in a tumultuous conflict they did not sign up for: chaos and obliteration at every turn, the Galaxy's ultimate death-dealing war machine in hot pursuit, and, if that wasn't bad enough, an inappropriate romance.

To top it all, the fate of the entire galaxy gets dropped squarely into their laps.

Go figure...
