In a single conversation, Jes Moran lost a ship, a job, and a marriage. Now, with not much more than a cool head, a few clever scams, and an odd assortment of friends-a seasoned spacer, a washout young pilot, and an alien engineer on the run from a vicious cabal-they might just have a shot at a future. A rag-tag crew is one thing. A skip-ship cobbled together out of parts rescued from the recycler, though? Well, when you're at the bottom of the ladder, you grab for the rung you can reach. When a hot tip for a big score finds its way to Jes's ears, a plan starts to come together.
But the ship is barely space-worthy, and the crew isn't the only interested party. The cargo could set them up for life if they can get to it in time. It could also make them a target. Everyone is playing for keeps. But there's one thing that nobody bargained for:Jes Moran really doesn't like to lose. "Common Accord" is a new novel by K. N. Brindle.
