Nanshe Chronicles

Playing bodyguard for a grandma vacationing in Artemis City should be an easy day's work for someone with Raj Demetriou's skill set-but as the bullets begin to fly, Raj is starting to think he picked the wrong old lady to guard today. Lasadi Cazinho knows there are harder people to rob than the head of Artemis City's biggest criminal organization - but probably not many. Still, she's up the challenge-until a series of mysterious assassinations have her scrambling for her life. Raj and Lasadi may both be down on their luck. But as a series of near misses and close calls spin their futures into a collision course, that's about to change.

Haunted space stations? Puzzling totems? Cursed relics? No job's too bizarre for the crew of the Nanshe. Lasadi doesn't like strangers on her ship, but she'll need a bigger crew if she's going to steal a mysterious artifact from a dead pirate's long-lost space station. She takes a chance on a charming grifter named Raj, along with a skilled hacker and her genius little brother. And it's . . . nice? If Lasadi isn't careful, she's going to start enjoying having a crew aboard. Raj's last bit of luck capsized right before he ran into Lasadi, and this job could finally get his life back on track - as long as Lasadi never learns the truth about his past. Raj isn't the only one on this crew with secrets, though, and Auburn Station holds more than long-dead ghosts. Unless this fledgling crew can learn to trust each other, none of them are getting off this station alive.And that's just the beginning. This set contains the first three books in the Nanshe Chronicles, a series of fast-paced sci-fi capers full of lovable misfits, non-stop action, and just plain fun. Perfect for fans of Cowboy Bebop, Firefly, and Leverage.
