Scavenger Crew (The Crusader)

By R. Bruce Sundrud

Ken Aedan wangles his way into United Space University which orbits Mars, but finds that school is a challenge of stellar proportions. The students from wealthy planets get "preferences" that automatically award them higher grades, and Ken comes from a poor farming planet. Unexpected events combine to put Ken as the captain of a crew of school washouts and misfits. Together they must rescue an abandoned freighter which is caught in a decaying orbit.Ken's motto in life has always been every man for himself but he soon discovers that running a space ship requires a different philosophy. As Ken's crew struggles to complete their mission, they begin to realize that the mission itself was expected to fail, and that failure can mean a fiery death.Scavenger Crew is the explosive beginning of the Crusader trilogy, a gritty tale of imperfect people coming together to face a common enemy.
