Not all good guys finish last.

Cabot Layne has become the owner of someone else's problem. In order to get free of it, he'll need to use every bit of his trader cunning. If he does it just right, he might stay out of prison. With a little luck, he'll even manage to turn a profit.

He's given up his old ways—mostly—thanks to his cushy life on a PAC space station. But behind his mild-mannered shopkeeper's facade, he's hiding a whole lot more.

Sometimes you have to break the rules to do the right thing.

The Cost of Business is a quiet story of cleverness and empathy. For some heroes, wits are much stronger than firepower.
