Story
For a church dedicated to the worship of death, the Cult of Nihil stubbornly refuses to die. When word reaches the bounty hunter who calls himself Logan Coldhand that the Central World Alliance is willing to pay for members of the congregation, he takes the job. Perhaps chasing death will help him recapture the thrill of the hunt, lost ever since the mark that got away.

Story
Because Petty Officer Logan Miller saved Ambassador William's daughter, Kaylee, he was tasked with escorting her through the rough streets of Montlake. Little did he know a simple assignment would morph into a race across the galaxy. If he wants to get her to safety, Miller must avoid pirates, the Imperial Navy, and the hazards of deep space. All while keeping a decrepit starship from blowing up along the way. Kaylee Williams desperately needs to get to Taurus. The future of the Empire rests with the secret information she carries.

Did you ever wake up wondering where you were…and perhaps equally important, how you got there? Yeah, me too. The only the thing is, it usually happens when I've been drinking…and I'd been dry for the better part of two years. I'm Commodore Jeremy David Riker…my friends call me JD or just plain “Dog.” I have the dubious honor of running a starship boneyard in the middle of nowhere.

When he finally corners her, the long chase seems to be over...until a frightened alien girl stumbles into their fight and begs for their protection. Maeve and Logan call a reluctant end to their battle and promise to help the girl, but they have agreed to far more than they know.
Can the fragile peace between hunter and mark hold long enough to save the lives that depend on them?

Good story, but...
The narrator’s voice and vocal inflections really grated on my nerves. But don’t let me dissuade anyone from giving it a listen, you’ll miss a good tale if you do.

Great story, mildly annoying narrator
Of the story:
A delightful cast of characters, and a teenager. Maeve and Coldhand are broken in different ways and we get to witness their 'rehumanization'. By the end of this book I was chomping at the bit to start the second book.
Of the narrator:
Reasonable voice acting, which is a plus. However, I found her habit of 'gasping' out the end of each sentence to be distracting.
