Meet Bob Fox, unemployed thirty-something, ordinary guy..... and an alien. He didn't know that of course, until he answered that ad and attended the interview. The job turns out to involve travel: interstellar travel, with a lot of bizarre experiences. It all seems great at first, it even begins to make some kind of sense, and he seems to have acquired some cool new abilities, and some really good, if a bit weird, new friends. But all is not as cosy and safe as it seems...... He has to fight for his very survival in a universe where everything and everybody suddenly seems to be out to get...

Fox is back - a little older, a little wiser, but still out of his depth. The son of the Confederation's foremost upholsterers and shipfitters, and a former colleague, is being held for ransom. The family has already paid once and Norvin hasn't been released, the government won't do anything, and Norvin's daughter is on the warpath Using her family's extensive funds, she has bought the meanest, deadliest ship she can find and needs a pilot to pursue the kidnappers and retrieve her father. Can it really be that straightforward? Of course not.
