The rescue was unnecessary. The job offer was unavoidable.
Russ thought he was breaking someone out. Turns out, they don't want to leave.
Now he's stuck with a contract he didn't want, a cargo hold full of problems with too many legs, and a corporate AI cheerfully logging his every move. Miri thinks they're helping. Russ thinks the payout is suspiciously high for what's supposedly a simple transport job.
And somewhere between the Outer Rim and corporate space, Russ is going to have to decide what matters more—the money, or what happens when they actually deliver.
Genre: Science Fiction
