Fetch

Book 2 of the Trunk Line Series

The crew of the Astra are back—and things haven’t gotten any simpler. After narrowly surviving a deadly archaeological clusterfuck involving ancient alien tech, rogue ephants, and one deeply suspicious holiday, Captain Tim Symbles and his ragtag crew decide what they really need is a break. So obviously, they head to Earth—the most expensive tourist trap in the galaxy.

But downtime is a luxury Free Traders don’t really get. Soon they’re being offered a deal too good to be true (it is), a payout too big to ignore (they shouldn’t), and a map to a ship that shouldn’t exist (but just might). With shady benefactors, old enemies, new threats, and a collector race of dog-like aliens known as the Kind in play, the Astra’s crew find themselves once again out of their depth, under fire, and doing what they do best: surviving by the skin of their teeth.

The hunt is on. The game is rigged. And Symbles? He’s still trying to work out who brought the squeaky toy.

Fetch is a high-speed, high-sarcasm space caper in a universe where humanity didn’t get wiser—just more mobile.

"Like a truly funny Iain M Banks"

"Totally unfunny... lacking in any understanding of Libertarian philosophy!"

Perfect for fans of John Scalzi, Becky Chambers, and other practitioners of smart, funny, character-driven space opera.
