Summary:
Basti needs 3 things to make his brand new– well, new to him –ship Firstly, He needs enough of a crew to get them safely spacebourne. Luckily, with a medical officer for a husband, an engineer bestie from his uni days, and a half-sib who is one of the best pilot’s in the galaxy, it seems he has all he needs there. Secondly, A Deep Space Travel License – unless he wants to cart crap cargo for pitiful prices inside a single cluster for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, his pilot is a jokester, his engineer just got out of a long-term relationship, and his assessor is very particular about how he thinks Basti should run his ship. And, finally, There needs to be enough jobs to keep the ship spacebourne… which he can’t get without a license. Which he can’t get without a job. Nobody said IPA rules made sense.

Archivist Comments:
For some reason, all I could think of when writing this entry was One Piece.
I don’t know a great deal about this book as of yet- all my information has been taken from the author’s website and tumblr blog- but I’m keeping an eye on it.
I really quite like the cover.
This book sounds like it has a lot of potential, and I look forward to seeing what the rest of the series turns out like.
