Kathleen McClure: Outrageous Fortune, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

John Pitte and his crew barely survived the war, but the air freight business may kill them, yet.

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, permanently.

So 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.

Welcome to the planet Fortune, where jobs are scarce, tensions high, and crew equals family. If you like low-tech science fiction, tarnished heroes and snappy dialogue, you'll love Outrageous Fortune!
