Backyard Starship, Book 2: Red Bounty

By Terry Maggert and J.N. Chaney

Armed with will, sword, and allies, Van pursues justice while making himself a target for doing what's right. Continue Van's adventure of a lifetime in this fast-paced science fiction thrill ride in Red Bounty, Book 2 of BACKYARD STARSHIP

Crime never changes, not even in space.

After taking a Peacemaker job to find missing fuel, Perry finds something far more sinister than simple theft--a crime so vicious that nothing short of revenge will suffice.

Following leads across the stars, Van, Perry, and Torina discover the wealthy elite are doing more than just taking fuel.
They're stealing lives.

But it takes money to make justice, and Van has to work. Torina's land must be restored, and the Dragonet needs new armor, and Van's sword isn't going to sharpen itself. So Van throws himself into the life of a Peacemaker, where he discovers that doing his job--and doing it well--makes him a target.

He's got the will. He's got the sword. And he's got help. Now all he needs is a little fuel.
And maybe a gun or two.
