Freelancers of Neptune (1) (Sol Blazers)

The future of humanity is living amongst the planets of the solar system in impressive habitats and other structures built long ago by a group of people who are no longer on scene. While these impressive structures continue to operate, the rest of humanity is thrust into a perilous existence of freelance jobs to stay afloat and survive in the harsh environment. Saturn no longer has its rings and Earth is a distant memory.

Nathaniel Kade is a captain of one such freelancing ship. He dreams of a quiet job which will pay him enough money to repair his ship, provide some security and perhaps a chance to settle down. But that dream will disappear when he runs into a Vessani S’Kaari, a catgirl, who is one a mission to find long lost technology which could improve the lives of everyone. Hot on their tail are space pirates and a group which wants to keep this technology secret.

A fairly decent hard science fiction space romp. Plenty of action, space clones and large space ships. At times the descriptions of the ships, its technology, and how things operate sometimes district from the action.
