Space Mission

What's a guy gotta do to get a little respect? As the head of an up-and-coming criminal empire, Carl Ramsey just can't seem to catch a break. Stranded in the middle of nowhere, he is forced to rely on loyalty, savvy, and the promise of a big payday to keep the rank and file in line. But how can he deliver on his promises while overseeing repairs on a dead ship, praying that his lover and best friend can recover their lost loot, and keeping the galaxy's most notorious crime lord at bay over long-range comm?

Carl Ramsey had a derelict battleship and a hundred stranded navy veterans fall into his lap. With Earth Navy happier pretending none of them existed, it seemed only logical to turn them into a criminal empire. Of course when 95 percent of your employees have clean criminal records and by-the-book instincts, there are bound to be some bumps along the way. Never one to take failure lying down, Carl enlists the help of some old squadron mates to show the newcomers how to make a living on the wrong side of the law.

But will Carl double-cross family to make his payday or dive headlong into a trap that wasn't meant for him? If he plays this wrong, he risks making enemies of the most ruthless gangsters on Mars.

Con el capitán Carl Ramsey supuestamente muerto, la tripulación del Mobius se dirige hacia una colonia anclada en el pasado, limitada en tecnologías de escaneo y en acceso al omni, entre residentes amantes de la historia y con un modo de vida propio de la vieja Tierra.

El expiloto de cazas Carl Ramsey, ahora capitán del Mobius, no puede ver un piloto de carreras sin burlarse porque nunca haya estado bajo fuego enemigo. Cuando el mecánico de la nave y el mago del impulso warp ya no lo aguantan más, lo espolean a inscribirse en un concurso de carreras para demostrar su valía. Carl recoge sus maletas y su ego, y entra en el Reto para Corredores Principiantes Silde Slims. Con 250,000 terras de premio en metálico, ese podría ser el mejor de los botines para la tripulación del Mobius.

Home is where the bark is. Fleeing from an unwinnable battle, Tanny is forced to find a planet where she can take refuge from a syndicate with galaxy-spanning reach. The first planet that meets the bill is a wild, forbidden world, home to all manner of monsters. But she has an ace up her sleeve; one of her closest allies was born there. But even with the help of a local, can Tanny and her crew survive long enough to contact help?

Tanny and Esper’s rebel syndicate needs to hit the Ruckers hard and where it hurts: in the finances. They decide on a target, one that most of the galaxy is blissfully unaware is owned by a vicious criminal gang: Friendli Foods. Purveyors of the Milky Way’s favorite junk foods, they make shipments to Earth on a megafreighter large enough to feed billions. Tanny has a plan to hijack it.

Cuando la tripulación del Mobius acepta como pasajero a Bryce Brisson para ganar dinero fácil, se ve inmersa en sus negocios con la enemistada familia de Tanny: la Familia Rucker. Y además, Tanny ha agotado el suministro de drogas que necesita para mantener su fisiología mejorada de marine. ¿Traicionará Carl a la familia para conservar su paga, o se lanzará de cabeza a una trampa que no estaba diseñada para él?

Pero a su regreso, Mriy descubre que la gratitud no compensa el resentimiento. En lugar de la bienvenida que esperaba merecer, se ve retada a una cacería ritual para recuperar el lugar que le corresponde en la familia. Y, con todo el clan en su contra, ¿dónde acudirá Mriy en busca de aliados?

Carl's looking forward to a quiet life with his soon-to-be wife and the child they're expecting. But when Amy makes a simple request, there's a catch. She wants their wedding on Earth so her mother can be there. For a law-abiding citizen, that would be a pricey but straightforward request. For a band of outlaws, flying into the galaxy's headquarters for law and order would be suicidal...without a plan.

Pirates have taken over and occupied a refugee world, and the exile government turns to the only human they can trust - Carl Ramsey. Trying to make a better man of himself, Carl agrees to help in whatever way he can. Since he's a notorious outlaw, his plan involves a little double-dealing. As Carl unravels the tale of how an entrenched pirate band got displaced from their cushy hideout and found a ripe target to bully, he stumbles across a twisted web of deception, intrigue, and political puppeteering behind the scenes.

A missionary ship hijacked by pirates. Legion of armed aliens burnt to a crisp. At the Convocation, something doesn't add up, and when the Grand Council gets word, they launch an investigation. Now, anyone who was aboard the missionary vessel is a suspect. There was a wizard aboard, and until the Convocation inquisitors are satisfied, anyone on that ship might be the most wanted wizard in the galaxy in disguise.

It seemed like a safe enough gig. A week aboard a One Church missionary ship. Bland entertainment for respectable money. A place where the family could relax and let their guard down. Until the pirates attacked. Alone in alien space, the missionaries are sitting ducks. When the hijackers commandeer the vessel, Mort and the Ramseys get split up.
