Publisher Description
The Alliance has toppled the tyrannical empire. It should be a time for celebration, but not for fighter pilot Captain Alisa Marchenko. After barely surviving a crash in the final battle for freedom, she's stranded on a dustball of a planet, billions of miles from her young daughter. She has no money or resources, and there are no transports heading to Perun, her former home and the last imperial stronghold.
But she has a plan.
Steal a dilapidated and malfunctioning freighter from a junkyard full of lawless savages. Slightly suicidal, but she believes she can do it. Her plan, however, does not account for the elite cyborg soldier squatting in the freighter, intending to use it for his own purposes. As an imperial soldier, he has no love for Alliance pilots. In fact, he's quite fond of killing them.
Alisa has more problems than she can count, but she can't let cyborgs, savages, or ancient malfunctioning ships stand in her way. If she does, she’ll never see her daughter again.
Fans of Firefly and Star Wars should enjoy this fun, fast-paced new series from USA Today best-selling author, Lindsay Buroker.
Customer Reviews
Charming characters and clever dialog.
This book roped me right in and kept me turning the pages. Plot keeps moving and I didn’t want to put it down. I seldom buy books but I did buy the next in the series (but I wished I had noticed that books 1 to 3 were sold as a package deal (with bonuses)).
Great characters!
I really liked this story of a haphazard captain who starts off with no crew and no ship but at the end she has almost a full crew and ship. Of course it’s what is in-between that really makes this enjoyable. Why? Well read it for yourself and thank me later and you will.
Good story to set up the series
A good read to set up the series and see what happens to the main characters in the book
