One smuggler, forty levels of station, and the only ship that will still have him.
One smuggler, one stolen power core, and forty levels of station between Dex Marlow and the docking ring. The far trades were never meant to be survived.
Grounded on the Meridian with a hold full of lies, Dex waits out a lockdown that was written with his name on it.
The rift opened over the Meridian and everything the far trades feared came through it — with Dex holding the only key that turns both ways.
Dex Marlow runs the far trades — the routes past the colonies where the insurance stops and the questions start. A short-hauler, a professional survivor, and a congenital liar to himself, Dex takes the cargo nobody else will touch and pays for it one episode at a time. The serials that made Starworld: station noir with honest lies, bad money, and a ship that keeps forgiving him. Every episode is a complete adventure; start anywhere, but start with the Rift.
