Rogue Trader: Memoirs of a Space Cowboy
Dave Mackenzie, the man, the legend - superstar pilot, supplier of weapons, lover of women, connoisseur of fine ales and transporter of toilet rolls.
Following a less than electrifying Naval career and after being required to resign from the latest in a string of jobs, Dave awoke on his thirtieth birthday on a distant tropical beach, suffering from a hangover with a strange black substance soaking into the crotch of his shorts, things would have to change, starting with the shorts.
The unforeseen “re-direction” in his career threw him head first into the roller coasting, cut-throat, money driven world of the freelancer, where the next five years saw him transport everything from sex toys to sniper rifles through solar flares, thunder storms, searing heat and blinding cold to every destination under the stars.
Occasionally funny, sporadically strange, often dangerous, the world of the freelancer is a world of money and booze, women, weapons and jet fuel, a world where anything goes, where cash is king and where just about everything has a price. Close shaves, tight scrapes and narrow escapes abound within the brutally honest memoirs of this modern, space age entrepreneur.
Furry dice sold separately.

NOT THE REAL STEVE WHITE
Poorly written mostly pitiful pin humor with no science fiction at all. Imposter book playing on the name. Very disappointing.
