Novis Terminal: The Chronicles of Daphne Blazefire, #1

By Frank DeCaire

When Daphne arrives at Novis Terminal to deliver her cargo she discovers the station is deserted. She and her trusty robot co-pilot R.U.S.T.Y. investigate, uncovering something sinister.

As a cargo ship owner, she must deal with broken systems, debts she owes, and challenging schedules. It's not long before her domestic problems seem trivial. When she discovers that authorities will not rescue the crew of Novis terminal in time, she must perform the task herself or live with the consequences of her inaction. Soon after, she finds herself in over her head in affairs that she is not properly trained to handle. A situation that rapidly turns into a life-or-death problem.

Captain Keetes is a pirate by trade, but he'll do almost any job for the right price. When he bumps off his rival and acquires the extra crew, he soon discovers that he has to have a bigger payoff in order to keep the extra crew members from revolting. He cooks up a plan to rob a space station named Novis Terminal, but he arrives on a day when the safe has no cash. Out of desperation his men abduct the space station crew and holds them at their base for ransom. He is worried that his troubles are overwhelming until Daphne and RUSTY show up and make his earlier troubles seem like small potatoes.
