Hundreds of years from now, when vast supernations have arisen across the galaxy, a professional gunner wanders the stars, floating from job-to-job. Ejoq Dosantos makes friends and enemies; he finds comfort and tragedy; and invariably, he uncovers more than his share of danger. A galaxy in motion requires a man in motion, and Ejoq never stops moving! Stardrifter is a space opera series by David Collins-Rivera, that encompasses novels, short stories, audiobooks, podcasts, and even a tabletop role-playing game!

And some are just plain jerks.
