There's a catch, of course: the drive \"might\" occasionally commit a starship to \"random\" jumps. With some trepidation and the new drive installed, the pair resume their courier duties. The drive works flawlessly, at first. Just as they start to relax, the drive places them in orbit around a partially abandoned research site. Partially, because the corporation that set it up abandoned the researchers there. Brain and Brawn rescue the researchers, but what is the reward for a ship who saves an abandoned station? Well, if you're working for the Central Worlds, it's a long, dull, and not very profitable courier route. One that results in more--not less--crises and danger for our intrepid Brainship as the random jumps continue. Crises and danger that will only resolve when Tia and Alex discover the reason why all is not as it should be with their new singularity drive.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMercedes Lackey\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebest-selling author of the Bardic Voices series and the Serrated Edge series (both from Baen), the Heralds of Valdemar series, and many more.
