The Chevy Cole Series
Cash and Gravity: A Novel
"This may not be the future we want, but it feels right, which is sort of terrifying, sort of exciting, and, in Perrin Pring's hands, nothing short of spectacular."
– Stephen Graham Jones, NYT Bestselling author of The Only Good Indians
A thrilling sci-fi western and the first in a genre- and mind-bending series bearing shades of Old Man’s War, Murderbot Diaries, and The Monkey Wrench Gang.
A high-stakes chase across the American West. A device that could change the world. Three unlikely allies thrown together by fate.
In the not so distant future, six mega corporations and their privatized armies have supplanted the American government. They compete for resources, market position, and the ultimate long game prize of colonizing the stars.
Chevy Cole left her conservative family behind for life as a Launch Tech marine and never looked back, proud of her role as a first-into-the-fire grunt, even if she were well below the revered female super soldiers known as Aces. When rumors spread that one of the Big Six has created a fusion device that would put the stars within reach, all-out war looms.
After the catastrophic failed siege of a Nevada mine leaves most of her comrades dead, Chevy encounters a dying Ace in possession of a mysterious package and a this Ace is a man. Joined by Dolon, an aging mercenary "phantom" sent by Launch Tech to transport the package to an Idaho safehouse, the three form an uneasy alliance.
As they try to outrun a rival corporation’s ruthless agents across the desert in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, Chevy realizes that their survival may also determine who controls the future. But when greed is the only rule of law, who can she trust?

It started well and then it petered out
There was meant to be more action, much more action in the novel.

What a wild ride! My only complaint is that I couldn’t sit and read it all at once. This book sucked me into a just-believable future world. One where corporations replace the government and each person is out for themselves. I loved the just-weird-enough protagonists as much as I hated the villains. The human connection, world politics, and thrill of the chase felt real. I particularly enjoyed the reversal of cliche gender roles and the emergence of an imperfect but badass female hero. Bring on the next book! I can’t wait!

I came into this one kind of expecting Cash and Gravity to both be people. Literally. I was expecting those to be the names of the protagonists. Let me disabuse you of that notion right now, because they’re not.
Instead, they are the forces that power the narrative of the story. Gravity, the force of nature. The principle that Earth, or any large mass, pulls things towards it from space. Like lifeboats ejected from dying spaceships. And dropships built to drop from orbit with a cargo of space marines.
And cash, you know, money. The thing that really makes the world go ‘round. Or, in the case of this story, and increasingly in real life, the thing that allows a person to buy what they need and go where they must and manage to keep themselves off the ever-tightening grid of networked cameras and transactions.
The thing that allows a person to hide their very existence – if they’re very, very careful about it. And very, very lonely.
Those forces are what bring space marine Chevy Cole, ‘Ace’ Izan and ‘phantom’ Dolan together on a mad dash across America’s desert southwest in this megacorporate controlled future.
Their slowly crumbling world is controlled by six megacorporations, Launch Tech, Exoterra, Tsilokovsky, Jinzhan, Lua Um and Alpha Orbital. Of course, there aren’t six superpowers. There are two superpowers, L-Tech and EXO, and the rest are lesser beings orbiting the two giants. Who are, of course, locked in eternal conflict.
Or they were, when scientists based on a tiny, low earth orbit EXO space station discovered, or created, the SFnal equivalent of the mythical philosopher’s stone. But the future isn’t interested in turning base metal into gold, and they’re already working on eternal life. The device that EXO has in their hands does something better and even more dangerous. It’s a (relatively) safe fusion battery that can produce infinite energy – or ultimate destruction.
Launch Tech has massed all of its forces to steal the device while it’s still on that vulnerable space station. That, as it turns out, was the easy part. Cash and Gravity is the story of the hard part, of three people in the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time, banding together to get the fate of the universe, and themselves, to safety before the clock runs out.
Before their equally determined – and even more dangerous – pursuers catch up to take them down, and out, and the device and the world’s future from their hands.
Escape Rating B: The idea that megacorporations will take over the world is not all that far-fetched, far-flung or far into the future – at least not in SFnal terms. There are plenty of stories with that type of set up. Just take a look at Murderbot – and you might as well start looking in that direction from the beginning because there are definitely a lot of Murderbot feels in Cash and Gravity.
Not the SecUnit itself, but the world that made it possible – and has expanded that control out into that universe. From a certain point of view, the story in Cash and Gravity is a variation of how Murderbot’s megacorporation-controlled universe got to be that way.
Alternatively, and with just as much plausibility, the world of Cash and Gravity descends from the corporate-controlled Earth in Nicole Kornher-Stace’s Firebreak, or Natalie Zina Walschots’ Hench and Villain, complete with corporate-created and sponsored media-darling heroes. Because that’s here too, and the way that got to be that way isn’t nearly as pretty as those media darlings’ faces and public images make things out to be.
But in its actual journey, it has a lot of the space western vibes of Firefly. That Firefly was also set in a universe where megacorporations ruled – even if some of that rule was thinly disguised by planetary governments who were equally corrupt – makes the resemblance that much stronger.
Of course, it’s not the setting that gives Cash and Gravity either its heart or its compelling pace. What makes this story sing – if occasionally off-key – are its characters and the way that desperation and danger bonds them together in spite of themselves.
Three people who should not have ever met, a hermit, a hero and a space marine. The hero has the device. The space marine has the brawn to protect him. The hermit has the ability to keep them off the grid until they reach their ‘plan Z’ pickup point.
When they first meet, they don’t trust each other, they’re not prepared for each other, and they don’t even like each other. Chevy’s there by accident, Izan wasn’t supposed to survive the drop, and Dolan wasn’t supposed to worry about anything but the device.
But Dolan can’t abandon them, Izan is too space sick to get anywhere on his own, and Chevy needs a new squad to protect to keep her stable in the civilian world she never dealt with well even when she was one.
They find a family – or a squad in Chevy’s case – that none of them were expecting. Their teamwork carries them through even as their tentative plans fail to survive the first contact with their enemy. But it’s that same sense of team and family that lets them keep it together even as everything falls apart. And helps them start putting the pieces back together the way they should be when their bosses try to convince them of a solution that is very, very wrong.
In the end, I had some mixed feelings about this one. Obviously, it reminded me of a lot of books I’ve read, and I’d throw in the Valor/Confederation series by Tanya Huff and Old Man’s War by John Scalzi to represent the voices of Chevy and Dolan. At the same time, the villains of the piece, whose perspectives we also get to experience first hand, were more caricatures than characters (that they are nameless throughout didn’t help) and I’ve seen that phenomenon a bit too many times too close together recently to enjoy it again here.
I did love the pulse-pounding pace of the story, the road trip tour of their sorta/kinda functional but slowly crumbling America AND especially the way the team gelled into a family that stuck in spite of the absolute heel-turn betrayal at the end. Which, admittedly, I saw coming.
On balance, I liked this one because I liked the protagonists. The story absolutely does pull the reader down the road right along with them, and the ending was the kind that was right, dammit, and opens the door wide for a second book. Which I’m going to be right there for because they’ve all earned whatever their version of a happy ending is and they deserve to get it.

Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to review your book. I am grateful to have been selected among many to offer my insights.
Upon reading the recently released story, I found the author's world-building to be commendable. The characters, while occasionally presenting challenges, are generally quite engaging. I did perceive certain elements to align more with a middle-grade narrative, particularly when considering its intended parallels with other works featuring similar world-building constructs.
Despite this, I believe the series holds significant potential for remarkable development. There are areas that, in my estimation, require further refinement. My hope is that subsequent installments will build upon the existing foundation, offering greater clarity and providing readers with more substantive elements to engage with.
The book was both accessible and a swift read. However, I must note that it did not leave a lasting impression in terms of memorability. This is an aspect I believe the author should consider addressing.
Once again, I appreciate the chance to read this work. I genuinely enjoyed immersing myself in the narrative of these distinctive characters and their unique world, and I wish the series continued success. #CashandGravity #NetGalley

Review of advance copy
This was such a fun read! Chevy is a space marine who gets sent on a mission to siege a Nevada mine, and there are whispers that they are going in order to take control of a fusion device. When a crash leaves Chevy injured and her comrades mostly dead, she stumbles upon a male Ace holding onto the device. With the help of Dolon, the three race to get to the safehouse and dodge other agents who want to get their hands on the device.
The story was written in a way for those of us who aren't well-versed in science to understand, which is great. I loved Chevy - she's a fearless marine who came from an unlikely upbringing with a passion for her work. Dolon is also a great character - a widower who stays off the grid and is tasked by Launch Tech to make sure the device gets to the safehouse. The Ace, however, was not very well developed to make me care about him, and I wish we got to learn more about the Aces and what makes them so special. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope for a sequel.

Pring's debut is an exhilarating and timely read! I stayed up and read it over two nights, the chapters are short and move quickly with shifting POV's and you are immediately pulled into the story through compelling characters in a world that can exist in the not so distant future with private military forces giving up their lives for a few corporations that control the world's resources and governments, the ways people are tracked and under surveillance all the time was scary as well (sounds familiar right!!?). The characters are compelling and well written, I was rooting for them all. I especially liked Chevy, the female lead and how she wakes up to the fact that she is expendable and is being used. Her strength shows not only in her intimidating size and shaved head, but also in her big heart and courageous actions. I am excited to read the next book in the series.
Review of advance copy received from Publisher
If you enjoy action-packed stories and westerns and are intrigued by the science fiction genre, Cash and Gravity is the perfect place to start. The world-building is engaging without the info dumps, as we are thrust into the story as it unfolds.
We first meet Chevy, a space marine who, along with her team, is sent to a mining area in Nevada. Thing go wrong quickly and she finds herself injured and her teammates dead. She discovers a lifeboat that crashed with Ace, a special agent and coveted device on board.
Dolon, a phantom who lives off the grid, has been tasked with bringing the device to a safe house. He did not expect travel companions, but the three work together as they are chased by bad guys who want the device. I liked Dolan, who has basically shut himself off from the world after his wife's death.
The story is primarily told from Chevy's perspective, but we get chapters with others, including the men pursuing them. Ruthless mercenaries who get a thrill out of kills. Chevy has been hurt, and Ace is suffering from some sort of space illness. As they travel across country, the three form a bond and explore the consequences of the device and the outcome if it were to fall into the wrong hands.
Pring's storytelling pulls the listener/reader in. His characters are complex and have depth as he touches on themes of consequences, greed and power. The story has twists, humor, climatic scenes and plenty of action that kept me listening well past my bedtime. I cannot wait for the next one.
The world-building was interesting, and the world has a dystopian vibe. It's a corporate-run world where each is vying for power and minerals, both on planet and off world. Each wants to rule and sabotage, espionage and battles are not uncommon.
Elisabeth Ashby is a narrator I am familiar with and she does a stellar job of capturing the tone of the story and bringing our characters to life. Chevy is a powerful character and Ashby did her justice.

A wild chase across the American West is the premise of this western sci-fi story. There are no political governments, instead big business rules and they are ruthless in getting what they want. There are three heroes who are being chased for something that has a value beyond price. The villains chasing them are some of the creepiest and nastiest I have ever run across in literature.
Intriguing story with intriguing characters. I really came to like the heroes even though some of their actions were morally gray. Looking forward to find out what happens with them next.
Just a note, Cash and Gravity are not the names of people, but what keeps things moving.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC to read and review.

I really enjoyed reading through Cash and Gravity. It was a fast paced adventure across the Mountain States of the near future, and I felt it did a really good job of building a corporate-run future you'd see in a traditional cyberpunk setting.
The main characters were all memorable, and I definitely felt the unease that the villains were meant to exude crawling out of the pages and setting me on edge throughout the story.
The pacing throughout the book was well managed, and kept me turning the pages until the end.
I'd love to see more built out in this world, whether that focus on the wider world or Cash and Gravity's main characters.

Wow. This is not a book that I would have randomly picked in my own but I started to read it because it was written by a recent graduate from my MFA program. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down. I’ve always enjoyed dystopian fiction, so it wasn’t a stretch, but this was still such an unusual novel. In the fairly near future a handful of huge corporations with their own armies control the world. And, then, two are both chasing breakthrough technology that can revolutionize life. It’s a road trip through the US West that is close and familiar enough to our 2026 life, but not quite. Three unusual characters form a team as they are chased by the “other guys.” It’s a wild ride. Loved it.

3.5 but Goodreads doesn’t offer that. Pfft! I really enjoyed this for the straightforwardness and the mix between Fallout/Starship Troopers vibes. Chevy is an awesome main character and I really liked being in her head. I wish there was more emotional depth within the dialogue. I had trouble feeling really attached to the characters, but I still enjoyed the book immensely and look forward to continuing this journey!

As a person who does not read a lot of this genre, I went in unsure what to expect. But this book has a creative and engaging plot, great characters, and skillful pacing. I legitimately laughed out loud more than once, while rooting for the quirky cast of misfits. I’m waiting for more people to read it so we can all discuss.
May 31, 2026
This debut absolutely slaps. I’m not typically a big sci-fi reader, but was drawn in by the promise of Chevy Cole, a big female marine. I was NOT disappointed. The combination of Pring’s character-forward storytelling and believable near-future landscape made this a book I binge read. I’m already anxious for the sequel.
June 23, 2026
I ended up liking this book a lot more than I thought I would. The audiobook narrator wasn’t my favorite, but I got used to it. I would recommend this book for anyone that is looking for a story similar to The Most Dangerous Game. It’s all about the hunt, except this time involving the future and space marines. I look forward to another book in this series.

An amazing book from a very talented and soon-to-be-famous author! Great action-packed story with excellent pacing. The characters are well-developed and enhanced by shifting POVs. Spot-on messaging with the terrifying foreshadowing of tech corporations becoming so powerful that they rule the world. A must-read!
Review of advance copy received from Author
Just the right amount of world building to make things interesting, combined with a sometimes fun, sometimes intense road trip across the west. Part space, part western, but none of the more annoying Western tropes. I really enjoyed it.
June 15, 2026
A thriller in the not so distant future! It’s very easy to get sucked into this book. There is the perfect amount of world building, compelling characters, and a twist or two that I didn’t see coming. Can’t wait for book 2!
June 24, 2026
Turbulent thrill ride with an innovative plot set in a not quite too distant future when dueling corporations control technological power. Has a straightforward “made for the big screen” kind of action and narrative. The characters are as sharp as they are smart with voicey uniqueness and lots of jargony slang to boot. If this is the first in a series I can’t wait for the sequel!
July 24, 2026
I just happened to be on the same stretch of highway for part of the roadtrip while reading this, which made it extra fun because her details were spot on. Come on book two, I need to know what happens next!

I loved this Wild West sci fi combo. Such a fun and entertaining read, and an interesting take on social political dynamics
June 5, 2026
2.5 rounded up.
Not a bad book per se. But I didn’t really like our heroes (especially the lead), the villains weren’t engaging, and the world/setting/tech wasn’t utilized enough. As a disposable action story, it’s perfectly serviceable (although, come to think of it, there isn’t very much action either…)

A wonderful SciFi/Western take on corporate rule and what it means to not be a cog in the machine, but how to attempt to escape from inside. A fantastic journey following three very different people across a journey none of them expect to survive.

Cash and Gravity was a fast-paced adventure that kept me guessing who to trust & what would happen next.
Chevy, a space marine, discovers a lifeboat that crashed with a special agent and coveted device on board. Dolon, a phantom who lives off the grid, is tasked with bringing them to a safe house, but the three are chased by bad guys who want the device.
Chevy & Dolon were great, realistic characters - I was annoyed by but also rooting for them.
