Starlight couriers

Author : Sabine Harrowgate

They took the job for the money. They kept it for the girl.

Captain Dally Ferreira has thirty days to pay off her ship’s loan, and a courier job worth forty thousand marks has just landed in her lap. It looks simple: one crate, one farmhouse, twelve days, no questions. Carried, not opened. Delivered, not lost.

Then, halfway down the Road, the crate starts to thaw.

Inside is a seven-year-old girl with grey eyes, a corporate barcode on her wrist, and a voice that makes the ancient Lanterns sing. A galaxy-spanning corporation will stop at nothing to get her back, and every bounty hunter in the Reach wants the two-million-mark reward.

Dally’s crew is a disgraced racing pilot, a struck-off doctor who knits when she’s frightened, a former corporate enforcer with a burnt-off barcode of her own, and a four-armed alien engineer who sings to engines. They’re broke, outgunned and out of time. But they’ve never once let a delivery go missing.

From dark lanes nobody has flown in centuries to the oldest gate in the galaxy, Starlight Couriers is a heart-warming, action-packed found-family space adventure for fans of Firefly and Becky Chambers.
