Clueless: Trunk Line Book Three - Tales of the Orion Spur (Trunk Line - tales of the Orion spur 3)

Diplomacy, sabotage, sentient bombs, and interspecies politics. Captain Tim Symbles is clearly not the man for the job. But he’s all we’ve got.

Fresh off accidentally surviving two galaxy-threatening adventures, Captain Symbles thought he might finally get a break. Instead, he’s been appointed humanity’s ambassador to the first full interstellar summit of species, including the dog-like Kind, the elephantine Ephants, and the deeply smug Cats of the so-called EMPIRE.

Armed only with a sarcastic crew, a ship held together by salvage and sarcasm, and a supply of increasingly questionable advice, Symbles must navigate ancient conspiracies, shady data ghosts, and at least one rogue AI bent on a galactic reset.

And that’s before one of the delegates shows up dead.

Clueless is the next installment in the Trunk Line —a fast-paced, character-driven sci-fi series with heart, bite, and a complete disregard for proper chain of command.

“Like a truly funny Iain M. Banks.” - a real review, by a real human!

Perfect for fans of John Scalzi, Becky Chambers, and smart, subversive space opera, this final adventure blends classic science fiction world-building with sharp banter, big ideas, and bigger consequences.

Now boarding — bring snacks. And possibly a peace treaty.
