Cole Musgrave’s dream of interstellar travel is about to become a nightmare. When a high-profile delivery is compromised aboard a state-of-the-art cargo vessel, the newly appointed captain finds himself embroiled in an assignment far above his pay grade.

Blackmail, terrorists, a malfunctioning prototype A.I. pilot, and a sinister terraforming corporation with deep criminal ties await him. Who knew delivering cargo to the deep recesses of space could be so dangerous?

Armed only with his cunning and past military experience, Cole is one against many. But this unorthodox interstellar cargo pilot won’t go down without a fight—even after he is faced with a choice that will alter the course of his life forever.

Ratings and reviews

from reading the free sample I can't make head or tales from where this story is going to go but I can't understand it. how it's got 4.3 stars I have no idea buts it's a wierd book.

I wasn't sure to start with, the first part of the book took a while to find it's rhythm for me but I'm really glad I kept going - the more I read the more I got drawn in and it built nicely. Great climax too. I'll definitely be reading the next one

Interesting plot twists, and nonstop action. Subcurrents of some of the important questions of morality ant what it means to be human.
