Black Hole Drive sees a principled interstellar captain and his crew surviving a universe peopled by ancient species with advanced technologies, and by human thieves, pirates, corrupt security officers, Earth-bound officials and corporate interests out only for themselves. Aided by sentient spaceship, Candide, its captain and commander shelve romance to rescue a mining colony, retrieve a long lost fleet of warships from pirates, and access technology of the ancients to carve a place in galactic society for the peoples and descendents of Earth.
