Dirty Work: Clean Exits Cost Extra

By Ben Patterson

Clean Exits

Valerie Blake used to take any job that paid.

Not anymore.

Now she flies Starfire-upgraded, faster than legal, and built for high-risk contracts that most hunters won't touch. Bigger paydays. Deadlier targets. Zero room for mistakes.

But when a job drags her crew into a web of political deception, outlaw tech, and something hunting ships beyond the edges of known space... survival isn't enough.

Because this time, the danger doesn't follow rules.

It doesn't leave witnesses.

And it doesn't stop.

With Graves-ex-cop, problem solver, and the only man who can keep up with her-and Max, an android who sees everything coming (except human stupidity), Val has one choice:

Stop reacting. Start deciding.

If you like:

Fast-paced space action

Smart, tactical fights (not dumb chaos)

Strong, sharp-witted female leads

Found-family crews with bite

A slow-burn relationship that actually pays off

...then strap in.

Because once Starfire lights up-

there's no going back.
