The Collector

Tyler Ridgeway has always been good at catching trouble.Unfortunately, trouble has gotten even better at catching her.She's a bounty hunter with a fast ship, a smart mouth, an android named Cyd, and a new partner named Hank whose past seems to be known by everyone except Tyler. The jobs are getting bigger, the paydays better, and Tyler is beginning to wonder if maybe she's finally figured out this whole bounty-hunting thing.Then someone puts a price on her head.A very large price.Suddenly the hunters are being hunted, a powerful crime syndicate wants Tyler erased, Sector Command wants answers, and every solution seems to create a more expensive problem. Running would be sensible.Tyler Ridgeway has never built a career on sensible.With Hank and Cyd beside her, she'll bluff criminals, outfly warships, make deals with people far above her pay grade, and discover that surviving the next fight isn't enough anymore.Because there's always another bounty. Another insult. Another enemy willing to waste your time.Eventually, you have to decide which problems are actually worth chasing.Fast ships, sharp banter, dangerous bounties, strange corners of space, and a bounty hunter learning that getting better doesn't mean becoming someone else.Sometimes it just means stretching to collect.
