Buy a starship they said.
It'll be fun they said.

Ben Snyder bought a cargo ship, hired a crew of reformed criminals, and set off to make his riches. Unfortunately, nobody but the Galactic Republic will hire him, and he doesn't take government contracts. When he was offered a job to transport one person for more credits than he'd ever seen, it was an offer he should have refused.

Chased by a crazy ex-girlfriend, held hostage by a hostile passenger, Ben has to find a way to get himself and his crew out of trouble in one piece.
