Captain Jacques Junet was quite comfortable with the current workload. His requirements were all being met and he was pondering an early retirement, somewhere green, on the Earth. The deep-space tow vessel, the Havelock and her rag-tag crew of professionals were making a living in the Deep Range, servicing the fleet of ChronosCom Corporation's shipping craft (trucks) out to the belt and back. But when orders come down from corporate requiring his compliance to complete an urgent recovery, Jacques is persuaded to put his plans on-hold.
Unbeknownst to them all, the job would lead the Havelock onto a path none of them would be willing to go on; forced to do things they never thought they would do, and all prompted by both a revolutionary discovery and a dubious piece of illegal technology. If the Havelock can only make it back to Earth, then perhaps Captain Junet and his crew can prevent the rise of an all-out corporate war.
The characters and plot was exceptional which made for a great read. The detection of a few minor issues is what ultimately made the difference between it being a four star instead of a five star read.
Great story. Well written characters. An ending I didn’t see coming but truthfully, it was the ending that needed to be. Can’t wait for more from Aaron Lancaster.
