Description:

IF THERE'S ONE THING ADAM ECKHART KNOWS, IT'S THAT HUMANS ARE TROUBLE.

He should know. He is one.

As captain of the Marathon, a cobbled-together ship crewed by aliens and androids scraping by on odd jobs at the outskirts of settled space, Adam has plenty to worry about without adding his own species to the mix.

But when a pair of mortally wounded humans cross his path during a heist gone wrong, he finds himself compelled to save them.

Big mistake.

Because if there's one more thing Adam knows, it's that the universe never leaves a good deed unpunished.

He and his crew are about to find out just how right he is.

Bad Cargo is the first book in the Marathon series, an action-packed carnival ride of a space opera that will leave you breathless.

Note: This is an homage to classic pulp sci-fi. If you're looking for hard sci-fi, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for adventures on alien planets with even more alien creatures, this is the series for you!
