A fantastic look at science fiction from the lens of an Indiana Jones type thief. maya was an amazing character - wanting to do the right thing for her alien friend Auncle. Throw in a helpless academic afraid of space, a robot that wants to be human, and an ex-space marine. The story is equal parts exciting and contemplative how different sentient beings interact - and what a sentient being really is. All this wrapped around the heart of a fantastic space adventure full of discovery and danger.
