Format: Kindle Edition
[NOTE: I received a copy through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.]

This was a nicely-paced and fun read, in the vein of space cowboys/pirates/smugglers branch of sci-fi. More plot- and ambiance- than character-driven, but what I wanted to read when I requested this book was a romp in space with action, blazing guns, spaceships, fishy cargoes, crazy pilots and mercenaries... and this is exactly what I got.

The crew members of the Keiko find themselves embroiled into a mission for someone they don't know. Only Captain Drift knows, and he didn't accept so willingly, as the one who made the offer was obviously not a friend. While the motto on the ship is "nobody asks about your past", some pasts are harder to forget and hide than others, and when everything turns to quagmire—because it always does, it always *must*, in such stories—and old secrets start surfacing back, everything gets tenser and tenser. What is more important, in the end: getting mad at the captain... or getting even when it comes to the mysterious employer?

While I wrote that this novel wasn't exactly character-driven, it's not completely true. I'd have to say that the characters are more of archetypal varieties that fit well into such stories. Think à la Firefly. The smooth-talking captain whose skill with words makes him an asset just as much as it causes him trouble. The stone-faced sniper/gunwoman who picked quite a few extra skills in her past. The mercenary going where the money is, but also wondering if it wouldn't be time to retire. The pilot bailed out of jail and now earning her keep by flying the ship through maneuvers so hard nobody else would try them. The ex-gang member trying to keep his temper in check after it destroyed his life. And so on.
