Interstellar Mercenary (Space Scout Book 4)

For Frank Eric Russell, disgraced ex captain in The Free Union’s Space Corps, the offer of a job training pilots in combat techniques for a space going city in need of some protection from its commercial competitors seems like a chance to get his career progression moving forward.But life never works out for Frank, and before long he is in deep trouble. The pilots he is training are rebellious, his boss wants to sell him to the highest bidder for the ransom money, and the local politicians only stop plotting against each other to plot against him.If that wasn’t bad enough, spies, pirates and the most feared man in the whole Galaxy would like to hire his services – or have him killed. The life of an Interstellar Mercenary is full of interest and excitement, if not the promised riches and rewards.Join Frank and his ageing Speedbird scout ship in the latest instalment of his quest for life, liberty, and the pursuit of a reasonable amount of wealth as an acceptable substitute for happiness. An earlier volume, Rogue Pilot, was chosen by a readers' panel to be a Finalist in the 2018 Wishing Shelf Award.
