Summary

Arrival & Departure, Chronicles of the Starborne Vindicator, Book 1

Rand Bauer is a repo man, and a good one. Forged paperwork, warehouse security, knowing exactly when to disappear. But thirty years after first contact, alien technology is quietly making his job obsolete.

Then he walks into the wrong warehouse on the wrong night, and everything changes.

He comes out the other side with a ship, a mission he only half understands, and a front-row seat to the politics of the Orinthal Stellar Consortium, a civilization of hundreds of worlds that Earth is running out of time to join.

He doesn't have the training. He doesn't have the contacts. What he has is a repo man's instincts: read the room, think fast, never quit. Along the way he picks up a crew he never planned on, and a growing suspicion that his entire career was, improbably, excellent preparation for this.

He's still not sure he was the right choice. He's starting to think that might not matter.

Arrival & Departure is Book 1 of the Chronicles of the Starborne Vindicator: space opera with found family, first contact, and a dry sense of humor.
