Synopsis

Jakes back. He's older, wiser, and better dressed.
He's going to be the coolest spy ever, then he fails his pilot exam. Disgraced, Dashi sends him out hunting missing food shipments. It's boring, but Nadine's shadowing him. Is it to find out what he knows, or just to snoop on that slinky redhead free trader pilot he took to dinner?
Why is so much food missing? How does it disappear so completely? And why does Nadine care? His new free trader friend is travelling some sketchy routes. Is he watching her, or is she watching him? Dashi's far away, Nadine's unreliable, and his new free trader kind-of-girlfriend might be a pirate. He can only trust himself - how will he get out of this mess?
Like less shooting and more thinking? If you like strategy over tactics, and thought before action, The Adventures of a Jump Space accountant series is for you.

About Andrew Moriarty

Andrew Moriarty has been reading science fiction his whole life, and he always wondered about the stories he read. How did they ever pay the mortgage for that space ship? Why doesn't it ever need to be refueled? What would happen if it broke, but the parts were backordered for weeks? And why doesn't anybody ever have to charge sales tax? Despairing on finding the answers to these questions, he decided to write a book about how space ships would function in the real world. Ships need fuel, fuel costs money, and the accountants run everything.

He was born in Canada, and has lived in Toronto, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Germany, and Maastricht. Previously he worked as a telephone newspaper subscriptions salesman, a pizza delivery driver, wedding disc jockey, and technology trainer. Unfortunately, he also spent a great deal of time in the IT industry, designing networks and configuring routers and switches. Along the way, he picked up an ex-spy with a predilection for French Champagne, and a whippet with a murderous possessiveness for tennis balls. They live together in Brooklyn.

I’ve just finished Moriarty’s 3-book Trans Galactic Insurance series, so I’ve written one review that I’ll post for all the books.

Much better—the narrator no longer is helpless, but actually has grown up and can outwit most of myriad plots against him, and elude the snares of schemers and various cute women.......more

Goodreads review by Julie on January 13, 2024

good series Good series, easy reading. It’s not a super action packed storyline with multiple ship battles or intense personal soldier engagements. This series is more intrigue, mystery with criminal elements from individuals to corporations. The real story is Jake and what kind of trouble he an find......more

Goodreads review by Skip on March 16, 2023

This is definitely a 5 star book for me. It starts with probably the most exciting first chapter I have ever read. Then Moriarity’s famous twists and turns continue throughout the book ending, of course, with a finale that kept me wondering who will be left to continue the series. The meat of the bo......more
