Watch It!: I Don't Come With Brakes

By Ben Patterson

Some jobs aren't worth the money.
Bounty hunter Riley Hayes has finally learned that.
With her partner Rafael Carpenter, their sarcastically literal combat mech Manny, and the newly upgraded Sentinel, Riley has stopped chasing every contract that flashes across the boards. Bigger jobs. Smarter choices. Better odds.
Then one routine stakeout explodes into a galaxy-spanning conspiracy.
A missing Syndicate lieutenant.
A ship worth killing for.
A secret buried so deeply that powerful people will do anything to keep it hidden.
Now Riley and her crew are hunted by crime syndicates, pursued by the military, and racing to uncover a mystery that reaches far beyond known space. Every answer leads to another impossible choice. Every victory makes the next fight more dangerous.
Because some doors were closed for a reason.
And once they're opened...
...there's no closing them again.

Filled with action, sharp humor, dangerous missions, unforgettable banter, and a crew you'll wish you could sign on with, Watch It is an adventure for readers who love capable heroes, found-family crews, sarcastic combat mechs, and science fiction where the people matter as much as the spectacle.
