Mother Lode

Tobin Ward just wants to make an honest living aboard his aging mining ship, Mother Lode. But when a mysterious signal leads him towards a legendary lost exploration vessel, his fortunes change overnight.

Now pirates, corporations, and rival salvagers are hunting the same prize, and Tobin's little ship is hopelessly outgunned.

With a loyal crew, a wisecracking family AI, and more courage than credits, he must outthink enemies who can easily outfight him.

Space trading, ancient wrecks, dangerous voyages, and a battered starship worth fighting for.

Mother Lode is Book 1 of The Free Trader Chronicles.
