Freefall

Freefall is the story of Dave Travise, an interplanetary trader with a past. Trying to forget, whilst being constantly reminded is no way to live, but sometimes letting go is just too painful. The ship is his past, so that's part of the problem. So when excitement comes back into his life, in the shape of a dead girl and a stolen disc, his world turns upside down. Events take control of his life, and before he knows how, he's at the centre of a Galaxy-wide conspiracy, chasing the answers that explain the past and may hold the key to the future. The story moves from the civilised centre to the edge of exploration. A cast of pirates, smugglers, and legendary explorers all play their part in a story that's older than us.
