Tarragon

Space is dark and deep and has a bull-eye painted on Jake Lattrell's forehead. His freighter exploded when the wrong asteroids kissed. Depressed, almost bankrupt, and on the verge of losing it all at the bottom ofa bourbon bottleA trouble-magnet since birth, Lattrell had nothing left to lose when he sat down at that pokertable. A once-in-a-lifetime royal flush hand of cards won him title to Tarragon, one of the most technologically advancedships out there.
That bull's eye just got bigger. Jake Lattrell and his partner, Shawn Bass have run Yellow Knife Intermodal Freight for coming up on twenty years. They calculate that one good run with Tarragon off the rim could put the company in the black and keep it there. The voyage from Earth's Space Dock out to the Silver Array takes Jake and his motley crew intothe path of hidden stealth ships, crippled space stations, and broken down private yachts.
But that is not the worst of it: the Tarragon artificial intelligence has other ideas. This is Ice Road Truckers meets Firefly and is packed with intrigue, deception, and violence.
