This is personal.

Ben never thought owning a starship would be easy. He didn’t expect it to be quite like this. It was one thing to take a job as a smuggler to pay for basic necessities like maintenance, fuel, and food.

But when Keep turns up unexpectedly with a new offer that’s even wilder than the last, will it put him on the path toward his true destiny? Or is it just another con?
