Quote: "I got word that there's a salvage going. A big one."
Kari is a woman who stomps around oozing anger. This is liberation? In the hypothetical human future of this series, women are "free" to be as hateful as men. Improvement? I don't think.
Anyway, Kari is a sort of space-age Captain Ahab, flying a vintage starship and fighting against what her society has in the way of government, and pretty much everyone else, driven by anger because someone connected with the government kidnapped her baby sister. Nobody likes to be around her but she travels with Ryker, a fellow rebel, and Atticus, a mechanic who's attracted to her starship, and a robot whose artificial intelligence must logically have room for artificial stupidity so he has PTSD and drinks too much coolant, and Wren, an assassin. They receive a tip about a wrecked government starship from which they can "salvage" valuable supplies. They're off.
And what they find on the government starship will lead to a whole series of further adventures. I think I'll be able to survive without the rest of the series, but I expect they're entertaining, as is this e-book. In this volume only one human gets killed. Most of the dead are robots.
