Strap in for a rip-snorting space opera adventure with an off-kilter smuggler, her smart-mouthed ship, and the various assortment of ruffians, ne’er-do-wells and vagabonds who enter their orbit. Captain Shaen Morris may be certifiably unhinged. Her ship the Belle Starr may look like a rusty, lobster-shaped piece of junk. But for the right price, they’ll get you off-world, using the interdimensional portal known as “the Passage.” The Belle Starr Chronicles omnibus includes all three previously-published episodes: Whiskey on the Rocks, The Skull Game, and Belly of the Beast. It also contains the never-before-seen story, Episode 0: Starr Crossed.

She’s brave, crazy, dangerous… and your best shot of crossing the galaxy alive. Captain Shaen Morris may be certifiably insane. Her ship the Belle Starr may look like a rusty, lobster-shaped piece of junk. But for the right price, they’ll get you off-world, using the interdimensional portal known as “the Passage.” When a robot shows up with some unusual cargo, Shaen questions its motivations. When it refuses to power down during transit, she questions whether the fare is worth it. Something lurking in limbo endangers them all, and it takes some fancy flying to get everyone out alive.

An encounter with an android and an orphan has left Shaen unsettled. She’s the best coyote pilot in the galaxy, but the future for all coyote pilots is madness and death, or worse, a permanent return to the hellish Asylum Ships. Unwilling to let the Belle Starr become space debris if she’s incapacitated, Shaen agrees to something she’s never attempted: taking on an apprentice. But old rivals Vahnu and Vishku have a different plan to make their fortune and avoid their fate. A plan that includes stealing the very thing she’s struggling to save: Shaen’s fractured mind.
