Tony Smith and Percival Prendergast, genius graduates of the Edinburgh Space Propulsion Academy, have developed a space engine which will revolutionize travel and trade around the colonies and beyond. A project that will do a lot of good for mankind…and be very lucrative to boot! Many are interested but some are unwilling to pay. After being abducted from the Gagarin Space station by a glamorous but unscrupulous Bounty Hunter, Smith and Prendergast embark on an epic cat and mouse chase around the solar system. Will they become the gazillioinaires they hope, rot in a Centauran jail pressed into forced labour or be blasted into space by murderous space traders? Only space and time will tell...
(with a cover by Adrian Baldwin)

Actor, writer, director, raconteur, Stephen Fry said: What a read! I think one sign of its thrillingly readable quality is that I, who am a complete stranger to this genre of fiction, was absolutely captivated. Like all the best science fiction it tells us so much about now, about current human problems of greed, ambition, betrayal, desire, hope and heroism… I’d recommend it to anyone…"
