Trunk Line

By Dave O'Neill

Trunk Line: Book One - Tales of the Orion Spur

Captain Tim Symbles has one goal: haul a load, get paid, avoid trouble.

But trouble? It has other plans.

When the Astra-Tim's barely functional freighter- crash-lands after a jump malfunction, he finds himself stranded without fuel, communications, or any chance of a quiet exit. Worse, the planet is a bureaucratic nightmare with a holiday for every day of the week and a planetary defense system that shoots first and never checks voicemail.

Forced to hire themselves out to a crack team of alien combat archaeologists, Symbles and his crew find themselves in a race for an ancient artifact that everybody from malignant mega-corporations through to crazed scientists wants to have.

To survive, Symbles and his misfit crew of Humans, Ephants, and one stubbornly Northern and possibly dead engineer must bluff, bluster, and improvise their way through conspiracies, near-death landings, and endless corridors.
