In this rip-roaring space opera, a ragtag band of explorers are out to make the biggest score in the galaxy.
On this space jump, no one is who they seem . . .
Captain Hammond Roystan is a simple cargo runner who has stumbled across the find of a lifetime: the Hassim, a disabled exploration ship—and its valuable record of unexplored worlds.
His junior engineer, Josune Arriola, said her last assignment was in the uncharted rim. But she is decked out in high-level bioware that belies her humble backstory.
A renowned body-modification artist, Nika Rik Terri has run afoul of clients who will not take no for an answer. She has to flee off-world, and she is dragging along a rookie modder, who seems all too experienced in weapons and war . . .
Together this mismatched crew will end up on one ship, hurtling through the lawless reaches of deep space with Roystan at the helm. Trailed by nefarious company men, they will race to find the most famous lost world of all—and riches beyond their wildest dreams . . .

      Starred review from June 1, 2018
      Nika Rik Terri is a famous body-modification artist who does occasional work for a company that is the space-age equivalent of the Mafia, but without the code of honor. She runs afoul of her employer and escapes off-world, accidentally dragging along a rookie modder named Snow who knows far more than he should about weapons and war. Meanwhile, Josune Arriola, pretending to work as a junior engineer on Hammond Roystan's ship, is revealed to be so much more than a humble spacefarer. These two women's paths cross when Nika ends up on Hammond's ship, where the rest of the colorful crew also have reason to stay below the company's radar. The chapters careen back and forth from Nika's to Josune's lives, masterfully weaving hard science, such as telomeres and theoretical chemical elements, with engaging characters and a touch of romance, resulting in a brilliant female-driven tale. A steady pace keeps the reader engaged, and occasional humorous situations and dialogue ease the constant tension felt by the characters. Readers of Asimov, Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan saga, or Anne McCaffrey's Pern series will enjoy this story.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
