Description
Meet Jessie Coben, your typical cyborg—brassy on the outside, sensitive on the inside, 91.77% machine, but “all man” (so he says).
Ex-army, he gets by as a trade consultant (aka glorified delivery guy) and occasional smuggler whilst evading a government hell-bent on recalling the 91.77% of him for salvage.
Oh, and he’s divorced. (But still trying to be free of his bloodsucking ex).
So, when the mysterious Captain Malika comes along with an offer he cannot refuse—an offer that will allow him to buy out his ex and start a new life—Jessie takes it. Get her and her ship to planet Jhapa unnoticed and the life-changing payout is his. The stuff of dreams.
But dreams, as they say, are an illusion, and this dream is about to turn into a nightmare he never bargained for.
