Why doesn’t it ever need to be refueled? What would happen if it broke, but the parts were backordered for weeks? And why doesn’t anybody ever have to charge sales tax? Despairing on finding the answers to these questions, he decided to write a book about how space ships would function in the real world. Ships need fuel, fuel costs money, and the accountants run everything.

Andrew Moriarty and 2 other people liked William N.'s review of A Free Trader (Adventures of a Jump Space Accountant Book 8): "Disappointed I'm really disappointed. Not with the series, not with this volume, but by the fact that this appears to be the last one of the series. I am heartedly disappointed that there will be no future adventures of Jake and Nadine. What a bummer." Read more of this review »

Quotes by Andrew Moriarty (?)

“He will have read the ‘Official Rules Regarding Space Executions’ or whatever the appropriate rulebook is called, and he will have found a clause that only allows them to execute people if they have a pink spaceship, and since this spaceship is blue they cannot execute anybody until they paint it pink, and then he will show them that there is a shortage of pink paint, so we will be safe. He is very good with rulebooks. This is why he is here.”
