Diplomacy, sabotage, sentient bombs, and interspecies politics-Captain Tim Symbles is definitely not the man for the job. But he's all we've got.
Fresh off accidentally surviving two galaxy-threatening adventures, Captain Symbles thought he might finally get a break. Instead, he's appointed humanity's ambassador to the first full interstellar summit of species-including the dog-like Kind, the elephantine Ephants, and the deeply smug Cats of the so-called Empire.Armed only with a sarcastic crew, a ship held together by salvage and sarcasm, and a supply of increasingly questionable diplomatic advice, Symbles must navigate ancient conspiracies, shady data ghosts, and at least one rogue AI bent on galactic reset.
And that's before the bomb shows up.
Clueless is the uproarious conclusion to the Trunk Line trilogy-a fast-paced, character-driven sci-fi series with heart, bite, and a complete disregard for proper chain of command.
"Like a truly funny Iain M. Banks."
Perfect for fans of John Scalzi, Becky Chambers, and smart, subversive space opera, this final adventure blends classic science fiction world-building with sharp banter, big ideas, and bigger consequences.
Now boarding for the end of the line-bring snacks. And possibly a peace treaty.
