I had a lot of fun reading this one! This book is a super standard sci-fi adventure story. I don't mean that in a bad way either! It was fun, fast paced, and the characters were all pretty interesting to read about.
This is a very Firefly-adjacent book. A group of space cowboys find a made family. It's not 1-to-1 of course, everyone on the ship has secrets they would like to stay secret and the ships captain (Ichabod Drift) has a secret that might just get everyone else killed.
It was supposed to be a simple smuggling job but soon the crew has to start running and thinking of a way to turn their bed luck and fortune into good.
I thought the plot moved swiftly and was quite entertaining. The characters all get a chance to shine, although the plot only really fleshes out 2-3 of them well. I look forward to learning more about them in future books.
