In a universe where Independence means corporate servitude, Rayne Nielson has a problem.
The only link she has to her late father is the battle-damaged star freighter, Independence. Not ready to surrender his prized ship to the scrapyard, Rayne goes into debt to Interstellar Trading Corp (ITC), the largest interstellar shipping company in both the Federation and beyond. Now, each load she carries earns ITC more money than it pays off debt. Will she and her quirky crew ever get to live by their own rules, or will they be ITC wage slaves forever?
Valen Sitara is a mercenary captain, but also a member of the royal family of the planet Sitara.
Members of his family are being threatened and outright killed. He needs to get home to find out who’s behind this and stop them. But that same mysterious someone has managed to have a false warrant issued for Valen as a pirate and murderer. Valen is ready to pay a small fortune to evade the Federation police so he can get home and eliminate the threat.
Rayne has a ship. Valen has cash. But with station authorities, and the Federation navy, both trying to stop them, is Rayne ready to lay it all on the line to help a stranger in need and get a taste of the freedom she craves?
In order to get to Sitara, they will have to outrun Federation warships, avoid the ITC, and cope with aliens who just might be able to help them. And, once they arrive, the battle won’t be over until the enemy is exposed and Valen’s family is safe.
If you enjoy action & adventure, found family that includes quirky aliens, and occasional humor, get set to enjoy the wild ride as the Independence makes the run to Sitara.
Genre: Science Fiction
