Outrageous Fortune
À propos de cet e-book
Six years ago, a single act of rebellion cost Captain John Pitte his command and his honor. Now captain of the light freighter Errant, all his hopes rest in keeping his ragtag crew together and their battered airship aloft. But times are hard in the post-war colonies, and and John knows that Errant Freight is perilously close to being grounded.
Which is why, when a mysterious woman offers salvation by way of a lucrative retrieval job, John signs on, no questions asked. But it doesn’t take long to discover that neither the job, nor the woman, are what they appear.
Now John and his crew are on the run and embroiled in a hive of madness and deception, while everything he hoped to save teeters on the brink of disaster.
Outrageous Fortune, Book One of Errant Freight is a high-flying tale of a heist gone wrong on the eco-punk inspired planet Fortune. If you like low-tech science fiction, tarnished heroes and snappy dialogue, you'll love Outrageous Fortune!
