“IT STARTED OUT WITH A BANG AND JUST GOT BETTER.” -Goodreads reviewer

Over 1,000 pages of nonstop action! If there’s one thing Adam Eckhart knows, it’s that humans are trouble. After all, he is one.

As captain of the Marathon, a cobbled-together ship crewed by aliens and androids scraping by on odd jobs at the outskirts of settled space, Adam has plenty to worry about without adding his own species to the mix.

But when a pair of mortally wounded humans cross his path during a heist gone wrong, he finds himself compelled to save them.

Big mistake.

Because if there’s one more thing Adam knows, it’s that the universe never leaves a good deed unpunished.

He and his crew are about to find out just how right he is.
