Captain Renee Thorne has had a streak of bad luck running back to… well, always. Her smuggling ship, the Bonita, manages to limp along thanks to a mechanic whose past could catch up with them at any time. She constantly fights with the ship’s beefy enforcer. Debts keep piling up. No one respects her piratical flair. But things are finally looking up. She has the contract of a lifetime –steal critical data from the starship Zoobilee– and just the smart-aleck hacker for the job.
Of course everything goes horribly wrong.
The Zoobilee has environments from hundreds of worlds: a rainbow forest, mountains, deserts, oceans that hover in the air… and all the terrifying creatures that live in them. The ship’s security robots are cheerfully murderous. The colossal hull rusts inside-out from a mysterious source. Worst of all, the Zoobilee’s human crew has mutated into Berserkers- metal absorbing, mindless ragers with ferocious strength. Trapped aboard, the smugglers must fight stem-to-stern to survive– and pull off their heist, if they play their cards right.

ABOUT THE COVER ARTIST
Lauren Bailey Harris is a NC native, but has been living in the New Orleans area since 2012. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Stanford University as well as a culinary arts degree. Even though Lauren has worked in the hospitality industry for the last two decades, less than two years ago she decided to pick up the visual arts, primarily watercolor painting to stretch her creativity and fell in love with the medium. She now spends as much free time as she can on commission work and painting for pleasure.
