Publisher's summary

Vive la Revolution! None shall pass! Or get paid.

Dirk Friedel used to be an Imperial Duke, now he's a washed up freighter captain. When a shady broker offers him easy money to steal some obsolete cargo and transport it off-planet, he and his crew of amateur thieves jump at the chance. Who'll miss a few crates of worthless supplies and some broken down trucks?

But when the supplies turn out to be something more than imagined, they end up dodging the Imperial navy and enlisting as unwilling mercenaries in civil war. With no idea who they can trust, or who is really on their side, can they beat the odds and collect a payoff before the empire gets involved, or will they become collateral damage?

If you like Galactic Empires, honorable enemies, and snappy dialog, this one's for you.

Fantastic, original & fun.

I just learned of this series and I cannot get enough. The story is fun, original and a true ride. You'll be doing chores to have an excuse to keep listening.

Fabulous story again!

Great story again, but a couple of errors set my teeth on edge. Make that 3 - because cliffhangers can really annoy me. Not usually, only once in a while.

The first on my pet peeves about the writing and EDITING of this book is the confusion of the personal pronouns “I” “me” “she” “her”, etc. For example: Him and me went to the store. (I won’t get into “me and him”.) If you take him out of the picture, you get: me go to the store. Me Tarzan. Of course, the same problem also exists when the pronouns are used as subjects: She gave he and I the apple. Would you say: She gave I the apple? Or, she gave he the apple when him went to the store?

The third pet peeve I have here (I’ve got a list of the things I consider a sign of poor editing.). Actually, this is a physiological reaction that most people believe and they’re wrong. When a person has been given an opioid, muscle relaxant or sleep medicine, their pupils don’t get large. They get very very small. This is what it looks like when the iris muscle is relaxed. If you give someone speed, cocaine, etc., the iris contracts and their pupils can get so large you might think that person has no iris at all.

Sorry to come down on such a talented writer - who brings so much delight to me and many others. These are co great reads and I hope the next installment is as gripping as the ones I’ve read so far.
