Perfect for you if...

You love space opera with morally flexible protagonists who talk their way out of trouble as often as they shoot their way out.
You're after quick-paced adventures with high stakes and constant danger, no brooding introspection required.
You appreciate classic sci-fi that doesn't take itself too seriously and keeps the plot moving at a sprint.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer character-driven narratives with deep emotional arcs and psychological complexity.
You want hard sci-fi grounded in realistic physics and technical detail, not pulp adventure.
You're looking for standalone novels and get frustrated having to read series entries to understand the full story.

About this book

Pik Lando, a con artist and smuggler, takes a job piloting a space tug hoping to escape a cyborg determined to find him. Instead, he finds himself pursued by both the government and a beautiful bounty hunter, making his attempt to lay low far more complicated than expected. This is the second book in William C. Dietz's Pik Lando series, following Drifter and Drifter's War. The novel follows Lando across the galaxies as he navigates danger and action in this fast-paced space adventure.
