Morse and Rake’s Middlemen Service: the one-stop-shop for all criminal undertakings across the vast galaxy.

Morse, a grizzled bat-man, and Rake, one of the weirdest women in the cosmos, have taken on a new contract; one which involves the extortion of a planet owner’s wealth and prestige.

The plan is simple: kidnap his daughter, Desy, and hold her at ransom.

But when Desy escapes them, and the replica they had assigned to keep up the pretence of the real Desy gets captured, things spiral out of control for all involved.

Suddenly the entire United Galaxy’s Interstellar Police Force, including their greatest adversary, are on their fleeing heels...

Can these villains escape the repercussions of their botched job, or is there still a way to salvage it all?

“Epic, space adventure with all the twists and turns of a superb sci-fi. A great read from an exciting new author.” Angus, Readalot reviewer
