Ray Guns and Late Fees
(2026)(The third book in the Space Mechanic series)
A novel by Jamie McFarlane
Held together by duct tape, grit, and wildly optimistic guesses.
If you like your space adventures with a side of sarcasm and a cargo hold full of questionable life choices, Ray Guns and Late Fees delivers. Ride shotgun with a pair of blue-collar spacers as they sail through the stars, patching together jobs with duct tape and stubborn optimism. Out here, pirates aren’t legends, they’re coworkers you haven’t shot at yet. Every deal comes with fine print written in plasma fire, every port hides someone looking to cheat you, and every ‘simple haul’ has a nasty habit of turning into a running gunfight before the coffee gets cold. It’s retro-flavored sci-fi with a grease-stained jumpsuit, where the ships creak, the blasters bark, and the heroes win by being just a little more stubborn than the universe.
This is a fast-moving, wisecracking romp through asteroid fields, shady stations, and the kind of backwater systems where the law clocks out early. Expect scrappy ingenuity, sharp banter, and high-stakes chaos where survival depends on quick thinking, faster repairs, and knowing when to run. If you enjoy humor mixed with action, underdog crews, and space piracy served with attitude, you’re in the right airlock. Strap in, fire up the engines, and jump into the adventure—grab your next read now and see how far duct tape can really take you. ����
