Brewing Trouble — A.K. DuBoff

Nothing could possibly go wrong. Probably. Well, maybe…

When you go to the trouble of legitimately buying a ship for your illegitimate smuggling operation, and that ship turns out to be stolen from a powerful weapons dealer… well, you might figure the universe hates you.

But not Jack Tressler, an aspiring smuggler; he's used to taking misfortune in stride.

Given the choice to die -- or get an ill-fitting cybernetic eye and join a crew of thieves on a crazy heist -- he opts for the unpleasant modification. After all, it's just another day in the life.

With rabid pirates, ruthless corporations, and a scorned former employer all vying for the same bounty, Jack and his new friends will need all their wits and snark to survive until their next meal in this farcical space opera adventure.

Brewing Trouble is the first installment in Troubled Space, a series of short, comedic space opera novellas perfect for fans of Space Team, Spaceballs, and other funny sci-fi.
