Book Description

A story of last chances and criminal inanity “I loved the Guardians of the Galaxy vibe…fast, funny, and fresh sci-fi writing.”—Cameron Coral, author of the ‘Brink’ sci-fi adventure series A Federation deserter. A ferocious cat alien. An android of limited intelligence. On the run and out of work, Federation Navy deserter Cass takes the first job she can get: to liberate the notorious pirate Redbeard from the prison on Aresh Five—which doubles as a tourist attraction for the rich and adventurous. Using a cover identity, Cass will have to infiltrate the prison with nothing but her wits, a master key disguised as a spork, and a furry, cat-like companion who’s pretty good in a fight. Succeed, and she’ll earn the respect of the charismatic pirate leader Tone E Robbins, a man with deep pockets and plenty of other assignments to keep Cass busy. Fail, and she’ll become a permanent resident of Aresh Five prison herself… or worse, end up back in Federation hands, forced to have daily tea with her disgustingly polite and patriarchal commanding officer… ------------------- What readers are saying: ★★★★★ ’Great fun, a great game, an engrossing easy read.’ ★★★★★ ‘I really can’t wait to read the first book and hang with these characters again.’ ★★★★★ ‘I highly recommend this book if you enjoy humorous and adventurous space operas.’ ★★★★★ ‘Such excellent writing that made me laugh.’ ★★★★★ ’Loved the Guardians of the Galaxy vibe...fast, funny, and fresh sci-fi writing.’ ★★★★★ ’This story packs a punch.
