Stealing a spaceship? Easy. Keeping it? Not so much. Captain Rask is broke, hunted, and very nearly out of oxygen. When a botched heist lands him a legendary ship with a damaged AI—and a crew of misfits who can’t agree on breakfast, let alone survival—he does what any half-decent pirate runs. But The Meridian is more than a getaway vehicle. It’s carrying secrets the Empire would kill for, and worse—its new passengers might actually start trusting each other. One ship. One shot. Zero clue what they’re doing. Welcome aboard.
