Filthy Lucre

Money makes the world go round as can a few too many strong drinks. But when Benny, in a fit of sobriety, agrees to do a pre-Advent favour for Irving Braxiatel, little does she suspect that a bit of corporate schmoozing with a fast food magnate is going to lead her into the biggest spin she’s experienced for a very long time.

In a whistle-stop tour of frontier planets she encounters mysterious burials,
guns and swords, legs and claws, lost treasure, mortal combat, conspiracy,
stomach-churning posh nosh and a little man called Perkin. Oh, and love and war, again.

Meanwhile Jack has to tackle possibly the most irritating computer virus ever created and Ruth must clamber through the bowels of a crashed ship with ‘The Man with the Vulpine Tattoo.’

And this was supposed to be the holiday season?
