As such, no book/story outlives it's welcome. Probably the best thing about it is that this is an omnibus of shorter stories. "Formulaic and uninspired but well-crafted" is a good phrase for it.

When a job takes the crew to their security chief's homeworld, she gets dragged into a familial power struggle. The trick is getting everyone out alive (and maybe getting paid in the process). The Mobius crew gets caught in a turf war between a pirate fleet and a galactic criminal syndicate. When the Mobius crew takes a peek at their illicit cargo, the entire job takes an about-face.

Instead of a star-drive to travel through the astral space between worlds, the ship's wizard does it by hand.Ī salvage mission turns into a rescue, and no good deed goes unpunished. The pilot is his ex-wife, the mechanic is a drunk, and the chief of security is from a predatory species. Captain Carl Ramsey is an ex-Earth Navy pilot whose crew won't let him fly his own ship. The Mobius is a cobbled-together ship with a matching crew.
