All Geddy Starheart wanted was to get out of the game. Cash in his chips and stop running artifacts and weapons for the infamous Double A auction. But when a routine trip surprises him with that very opportunity, he must answer a very fraught question: What’s the catch?

It was supposed to be a routine job. Pick up the artifact on Ceonus and bring it back to his boss on Kigantu. In, out, done — as easy as making love. But the seller, an eccentric trillionaire with a dark soul, inconveniently died while he was en route. Now he’s got to convince the guy’s weird, clueless stepson to honor the deal. 

When a stranger makes a proposal that would let him walk away for good, he's never been more tempted. But to get to the bottom of it, he must be willing to betray some very powerful people -- and survive one insane night on the town.

Geddy's Gambit is a prequel tale for Reassembly, C.P. James' humorous space opera series. Fans of grown-up sci-fi humor like Guardians of the Galaxy, Firefly, Galaxy Quest, and The Orville will love this fresh and funny take on the genre.
