He needs a payday. He’ll settle for payback.

Betrayed and left to rot on the edges of the galaxy, Caspian Robeaux is deep in debt and stuck flying courier missions in an old rustbucket he can barely keep afloat. His only friends are a dishonest robot and a bottle of booze.

It’s a far cry from his once-promising military career, but Cas is content to be left alone.

Things start to look up, though, when a stranger arrives and offers a lucrative job that Cas can’t refuse, with a payday big enough to change his fortunes permanently.

But nothing in his life is ever that simple, and for a man trying to buy his way out of debt, the price of redemption might be too steep.
