ONE SMALL BOUNTY. ONE VERY BIG MISTAKE.
All Captain Rask wanted was a routine pickup and a modest payout. Instead, the Meridian locks onto a low-level courier and watches the reward start climbing for absolutely no sensible reason.
Then it doubles.
Then ships start shooting.
Within hours, half the quadrant is converging on the same target, alliances are dissolving mid-dogfight, and the number attached to one bewildered pilot keeps rising every time someone fires a weapon.
The hunters think they're chasing profit. The market thinks it's chasing blood.
Now Rask and his crew must survive a sector-wide feeding frenzy, outmanoeuvre professional extraction teams, and decide whether to take the money... or walk away from the biggest payout of their lives.
Because in space, nothing escalates faster than greed.
And this bounty has teeth.
