That was the problem when dealing exclusively with crooks and thieves. None of them had a decent returns policy. Captain Wu finds herself once again on the losing end of a deal. Everything has been going south since she ran afoul of three squid-faced xenos who stepped into the middle of a delivery, and shot the buyers. Now she's the target of a bunch of bad guys, all while trying to avoid the long intergalactic arm of the Com. As the Captain and her crew race through one jump gate after another, she gets herself out of scrapes with her wits and her fists... though not necessarily in that order. But her old nemesis--and former partner--Roderick Tell is up to his neck in nefarious doings. And he keeps reeling her back in. How is Wu going to keep her family safe and her crew fed? With smarts and grit, the smugglers stay ahead of the killers, one wild shenanigan at a time.

Smugglers Crew

Captain Wu’s the name. Smuggling’s her game. To be fair, they only started shooting after she started insulting them. She was just about to hand off the package—Wu didn’t know what was inside, and she didn’t want to—when three tentacle-faced strangers attacked. Wu loves a good fight and lives for a good heist. The Captain and her crew make their living taking undercover assignments from questionable clients... and it pays. Or at least, it used to. But this time the merchandise is a little too hot to handle. So when the squid-shaped xenos show up and destroy the guys who are there to receive it, Wu is barely able to make it back to her ship alive. Soon the Nameless is racing around the galaxy with not only the powerful Commonwealth on its tail, but another dangerous creature bent on revenge. And then an unexpected visitor arrives, putting Wu and her crew in the position of taking care of some very precious cargo. Is it time for the Captain to give up criming and retire to a sedate life more suitable for a woman of her age? Not a chance.
