โฆ Synopsis
Some runs pay better than others ... Especially when there are pirates involved.
After almost losing his Shipmasterโs licenses, Captain Ethan Walker takes on three new crewmembers and the first job that will get him back into space. He realizes en route that the supplies and personnel theyโre carrying make the ship a prime target for pirates. Itโs too late. He has no option but to complete the run regardless of the danger.
Things get worse for the Olympus Dawn when they make a one hundred light-year detour to pick up an archaeologist who knows their actual destination, only to find that someone has kidnapped her.
While theyโre waiting for instructions from the archaeologist who hired them, Walker learns that Captain Kendrick Jetaar will stop at nothing to capture their cargo. Captain Walker must escape the ruthless pirate lord before he and his crew become casualties in a war he didnโt know existed.
Fortunately, the load pays exceptionally well, if only he can survive to collect.
