One simple trip. Just take some xaxa fruit from point A to point B, sell it this cheap stuff at the nearest spaceport where they pay a premium for fresh food, then restock the bar of the Red Spark and move on. But for Captain Bonny Red and her crew, life can just never be that simple. Taking a shortcut to reach their destination, they encounter some zenti raiders, and some most unexpected people who will take the merry band of dlamisan space pirates on yet another misadventure that will end with their plans ruined...and an unexpected treasure along the way.

But faced with the desperation of a dying people, the fierce former scout turned pirate Captain cannot turn away. Which is a pity... for the wrong side that is,...

Hi. My name is Kayobi Taida, and I am an assassin, no, not one of those piddly little human assassins. I'm an alien, an assassin on a galactic scale. My job is to exterminate dictators who get too big for their britches and decide that ruling one world just isn't enough. I stalk them, eliminate them, and then get paid. It's pretty easy for me, since I'm a 'swapper' what you might call a 'shape shifter' and my people are the only ones in the galaxy known to have magic power. But this isn't 'that' story. Not for the most part. These are the stories of my days off, my vacations, the little ...
