Bounty Hunter Wanted! Top Credits Paid! Serious Inquiries Only!
Throughout his long and storied career, Quintus Fox has done a little bit of everything. But as the wild frontier civilizes, people like Quintus – and those whom he pursues – will be nothing more than relics of a turbulent past.
To make ends meet, Quintus must take jobs he might think were beneath him, but sometimes a man must swallow his pride and make a deal with the devil to take care of his ship and his crew, especially when opportunities are slim.
Worse, sometimes the devil has your commcode... and he won’t take no for an answer.

Will Fox be able to find the thief, locate the treasure, and keep himself and his motley crew alive long enough to collect the bounty? Find out in this great book by Jason Cordova!
It would have been a stereotypical sci-fi novel but the author has filled it with interesting characters, a fun plot, and engaging conversations. Am purchasing book two.
And so begins the series. Good read, enough action to keep one entertained, some character building, and a good finish. Looking forward to the next one.
Enjoyed it a lot. I hadn't realized there were short stories that set up the character / universe, but it stood well on its own and I'm looking forward to the sequel!
