Böcker av Beth Lyons

It's a big galaxy, but sometimes you have to run a long ways to leave trouble behind you.Kril Granger has gathered a good crew, and managed to finish a profitable job. But things are a little too hot in their usual regions, so it's time to pick up stakes and head coreward.Along the way, they'll be passing through the dark spaces of the galaxy, and turning up threats ranging from overprotective AIs, to invasive nano-using overlords.All this while dealing with a mixed, quarrelsome crew that would rather die than give up their secrets.It's a hard life, being a scrapper. It's a harder death, if they get it wrong...

Some Scrappers just can't catch a break. When a salvage job on an old battlefield goes awry, Kril's left with no crew, no food, a suspiciously-absent client, and far too many enemies. Fortunately, it's a big universe, and he's got a fast ship and the best pilot in twenty light-years to watch his back. His journey to keep 'er flying and get a crew back together will take him from rescue operations in collapsing freighters to fighting dinosaurs in the sewage canals of pirate paradises, and to points beyond. The odds are stacked against him, but Kril keeps it simple; Get a good crew, do a good job, and look after your own because the Hungry Dark is always waiting.
