That was the problem when dealing exclusively with crooks and thieves. None of them had a decent returns policy.

Captain Wu finds herself once again on the losing end of a deal. Everything has been going south since she ran afoul of three squid-faced xenos who stepped into the middle of a delivery, and shot the buyers. Now she's the target of a bunch of bad guys, all while trying to avoid the long intergalactic arm of the Com.

As the Captain and her crew race through one jump gate after another, she gets herself out of scrapes with her wits and her fists... though not necessarily in that order. But her old nemesis—and former partner—Roderick Tell is up to his neck in nefarious doings. And he keeps reeling her back in.

How is Wu going to keep her family safe and her crew fed? With smarts and grit, the smugglers stay ahead of the killers, one wild shenanigan at a time.
