Finder (Finder Chronicles #1)

Posted on 27 June 2018 by Suzanne Palmer

From Hugo Award winning debut author Suzanne Palmer comes an action packed sci fi caper starring Fergus Ferguson, interstellar repo man and professional finder.Fergus Ferguson has been called a lot of names thief, con artist, repo man He prefers the term finder.His latest job should be simple Find the spacecraft Venetia s Sword and steal it back from Arum Gilger, ex nobleman turned power hungry trade boss He ll slip in, decode the ship s compromised AI security, and get out of town, Sword in hand.Fergus locates both Gilger and the ship in the farthest corner of human inhabited space, a gas giant harvesting colony called Cernee But Fergus arrival at the colony is anything but simple A cable car explosion launches Cernee into civil war, and Fergus must ally with Gilger s enemies to navigate a field of space mines and a small army of hostile mercenaries What was supposed to be a routine job evolves into negotiating a power struggle between factions Even worse, Fergus has become increasingly and inconveniently invested in the lives of the locals.It doesn t help that a dangerous alien species thought mythical prove unsettlingly real, and their ominous triangle ships keep following Fergus around.Foolhardy Eccentric Reckless Whatever he s called, Fergus will need all the help he can get to take back the Sword and maybe save Cernee from destruction in the process.
