Boon, Bounty & Bad Decisions [An Ensemble Sci-fi Adventure]

[TOP 400 BEST RATED ON ROYAL ROAD]—[BOOK ONE IS NOW COMPLETED!] Fans of Back to the Future and Guardians of the Galaxy are in for a treat. Gravel and his crew of professional bad decision-makers thought stealing a high-value data drive from an abandoned jungle facility on Namor would be just another payday. Deliver the goods, collect their shares, maybe disintegrate a sabertooth tiger on the way out. Simple. Then they actually looked at what was on the drive. At least the part they managed to decrypt. More sabertooth tigers. Very unnatural. Very human-engineered. Very trigger-happy. Now, instead of a clean getaway, they’ve got the Republic (boring name) breathing down their necks, bounty hunters setting their sights, and at least one corpo organization with techs that shouldn’t exist and definitely wants them dead. Worse, they may have accidentally kicked over a conspiracy big enough to make the entire galaxy very, very unhappy. The good news? Gravel and Co. are great at running. The bad news? They’re also great at ruining everything. [This story focuses on planetary adventures more than space battles, at least so far. It has mercenaries, factions, warlords, and galaxy-spanning consequences, and there will be ships blowing up! However, the focus of the first book is on planetary escapades.] Update: Saturday EST
