SECONDHAND SPACEMAN
COMING 2023 |
Frank Woods' mundane life as a student in truck driving school takes a crazy turn when he's kidnapped by the cantankerous alien boss of a spaceship repossession agency who tells him he has to take over his dead dad's contract as a repo agent… or else.
Sent across the galaxy with only his father's dilapidated spaceship and a glitchy AI mentor, Frank begins a dangerous career of repossessing spaceships, stolen computers, and even alien concubines. Life isn't as bad as he expected: it's worse. Turns out, most aliens aren't very nice and don't like their things repossessed. And then there are the ultra-competitive repo agents who see the new guy as an easy target: finding it easier to steal from and kill their fellow agents to make a few extra bucks. The repo business gets even dirtier when Frank collects more than just a ship. With a strange alien artifact onboard, he finds himself pursued by a repo agent who wants the technology. Can Frank beat all the odds and survive as a space repo man, or is he going to end up on some alien's dinner plate? |
STATUS: I have this book about 30% written and expect to finish it in June. This book could be a standalone, but I really love Frank, so I expect this will a series of his (mis)adventures in space.
