Cargo Trouble: A Frankie Styles Cozy Space Opera

Award-winning author Nicky Penttila engineers acclaimed space opera forged in real science—delivering scrappy characters, razor-sharp stakes, and a defiant belief that fixers deserve better.

Cargo hauler Frankie Styles trades the suffocating roar of Central sector for an edge-space route that smells of dust and peppermint tea and hums with nothing but cold ventilation. Then every kind of trouble she ever dodged comes aboard at once.

A witty space opera novella about chosen family, forging your own path, and brilliant fixers who refuse to quit.
