The Wrecking Squad (Paperback or Softback)

One ship, one loyalty and a single shot at redemption

Captain Rebekah Khan and her ragtag crew of the repair ship Sunstar finally have a chance to pay off their crushing debts when an automining vessel goes rogue. After preventing the high value cargo from disappearing into the outer system, they uncover sabotage only a crew with their military experience would recognise.

Instead of returning as heroes, they are blackmailed into taking on a new crew member and to hunt for a mysterious, uncertified spacecraft. Deep into the black, they desperately try to hide their murky past, while their loyalties are tested to their limits when they finally come across the marooned ship and its deadly cargo.

Featuring the action of Aliens, the camaraderie of Firefly and the infighting of The Expanse, The Wrecking Squad is the new science fiction novel from Nick Snape, author of the highly rated Weapons of Choice series.
