Valentinian's latest charter—hauling an all-girl-band back and forth across the Dominion—promises to launch his long-haul dream. Only a few worries about the shadowy past of his newest crewman.

What else could possibly go wrong?

Longshot Hypothesis—the first novel in the new Shadow of the Dominion series—flies into a fresh take on space merchants, troublesome cargo, and oh, yeah, hired muscle.
