I was a loser who chose to stay behind and help when humanity bailed on a dying Earth. A cosmic afterthought, clinging to a fading hope that I could get a girl to notice me for my selfless act. When that blew up in my face and she tried to steal my cruiser-class starship, I decided enough was enough. Driven by my inheritance-a map to worlds untouched by human greed-I decided to do what I always wanted to do: blow this popsicle stand and say hello to the great unknown.

My name is Logan Pierce, and I was supposed to be exploring those hidden realms with my AI buddy, Steve. But fate had other plans. A distress call dragged me into a cosmic nightmare filled with aliens, pirates, and power-hungry rulers. Now, I’m caught in a high-stakes game where the fate of humanity might depend on my ability to save a couple of strange aliens and not screw up the order of the galaxy. Things weren’t going so well, and I may have just stepped in it...
