Life seemed easy after the last adventures of the José Fabuloso. What with being on reasonably good terms with two major crime syndicates, a fully paid off ship, and a cargo hold full of goods. What could go wrong? Life is funny that way. When their Captain is called away to attend to a sick beloved Grandmother, and their Engineer and "fixer" does a vanishing act after discovering his is a father-to-be, Squirrel and M'Elise are left holding the baby. Literally. One each.
Space travel and kids don't mix. Everyone knows that. Everyone except the José Fabuloso. They are determined to make a go of it. If they can find the right crew, the right cargo, and stay away from risky missions that put all of them in danger.
Yeah, right.
