Void All the Way Down — Stephen Hunt

Captain Lana Fiveworlds has a hell of a lot of problems. 

She's sliding void in an ageing seven-hundred-year-old space ship, scrabbling around the edges of civilised space trying to find a cargo lucrative enough to pay her bills without proving so risky that it'll kill her. She's got an alien religious freak for a navigator, an untrustworthy android for a first mate, a disgraced lizard for a trade negotiator and a deserter from the fleet acting as her chief engineer. 

And that was well before an ex-crewman turns up wanting Lana to rescue a barbarian prince from a long-failed colony world. 

Unfortunately for Lana, the problems she doesn't know about are even more dangerous. In fact, they just might be enough to destroy Lana's rickety but much-loved vessel, the Gravity Rose, and jettison her and her crew into the void without a spacesuit. 

But there's one thing you can never tell an independent space trader. That's the odds...

REVIEWS 

Praise for Stephen Hunt's novels: 

‘Mr. Hunt takes off at racing speed.'

- TOM HOLT 

‘All manner of bizarre and fantastical extravagance.' 

- DAILY MAIL 

‘Compulsive reading for all ages.' 
- GUARDIAN 

‘Studded with invention.'

‘Hunt has packed the story full of intriguing gimmicks… affecting and original.'

‘An inventive, ambitious work, full of wonders and marvels.' 
- THE TIMES 

‘Hunt knows what his audience like and gives it to them with a sardonic wit and carefully developed tension.' 
- TIME OUT 

‘A ripping yarn … the story pounds along… constant inventiveness keeps the reader hooked… the finale is a cracking succession of cliffhangers and surprise comebacks. Great fun.'
