Jericho Rolland has been offered the second mate’s position on the Fancy Days. That berth should be all he needs to meet the first part of the quest to own and operate his own large trader. Jericho should be able to earn his unlimited master’s license.
With the Fancy being in the shipyard’s hands for the next several months, he decides to take the Desert Rose out on a salvaging run, with his current girlfriend and the Fancy’s first mate as crew. Little does Jericho realize the two women may be into each other, just as much as his girlfriend is into him. Even the first mate develops a yen for Jericho.
That salvaging run starts with them working in conjunction of a team of salvagers Jericho has hired to help salvage a large number of ships from a system that contains the remnants of a large battle from over four hundred years previous. Jericho wants those ships to increase his ever expanding freighter fleets.
Half-way through the planned salvage operations, Jericho decides it is time to take the Rose and her two-woman crew out prospecting. He hopes to find the system containing the remnants of the fabled last battle. Based on what he has already found in nearby systems, it can’t be far away.
Well written space opera! Continues the standard of the previous 3 books in the series.
Jericho continues to develop wealth without specifically trying to. His fair business practices, where he willingly shares his profits, add to his finances without harming the finances of those he works with. He continues to innovate and develop new spaceship types and reworks how to use them in new & interesting ways. He again fights pirates and, so far, has not lost anymore friends. Currently there is one more book in the series, which I will start reading as soon as I finish this review. Depending how the story goes, I won't be disappointed if the series continues, based on the quality of the characters & the story arc. Keep it Mr. Hawkins! Well done!
The ending makes me want more writing faster from this author it was not exactly a cliff hanger it was a well yeah it was a mountain drop off of an ending and I want to know what happens. Great story characters and storyline. And I want more So I want you to get your little pitties typing and get the next book out please. THANK YOU TO READERS ENJOY!
What could be better than traveling around the galaxy on your on trade ship that you command and making lots of credits? Doing the same thing on your own armed covert trade ship and taking out pirates while getting paid!!
Really I'm enjoying this story arc. I would like to see Jericho's character developed a little more in-depth but he's a good Focus for the stories that are being told. All in all a really fun read.
As I started In the Title line This book is just as good as the 3 before it Loved characters The ships are Different from what someone would if expect And the characters all have good history to them
In my opinion it was better than book 3 but not as good as the first 2. I think whomever is editing these ebooks is using a spell checker and not following up.
