The Solar System ain’t what it used to be!

All he wanted was a simple job to make ends meet. What he got was a mysterious cat girl, a shot at a hoard of treasure, and a whole lot of trouble.

In the far distant future, Saturn’s rings are gone, Mercury is a gas giant, and Earth is remembered only as a unit of measure. Nearly godlike AIs reshaped the Solar System in eons past, but they too are now nothing more than a fading memory.

Captain Nathaniel Kade cares for none of that. He’s but a simple freelancer from the orbital ring of Neptune, struggling to make ends meet and to keep his understaffed spaceship from falling apart. All he wants is a decent, uneventful job to help put his finances back in order.

What he receives instead is Vessani S’Kaari, a mysterious and beautiful cat girl who tried—and failed—to steal a ship belonging to a band of space pirates. Vessani’s in over her head and is clearly more trouble than she’s worth, but she also has a lead on what may be the greatest treasure trove of lost technology the Solar System has ever seen.

Nathan pulls her butt out of the fire, and together they begin to assemble a team to seek out this long-lost bounty. But other interested parties have their eyes on the same prize; the Jovian Everlife has dispatched a fleet of warships with one of their elite, many-bodied agents in command, and he’d like a few words with Nathan and his new crewmember.

“We deserve more books that combine gorgeous lines and concepts like “the echoing thoughts of absent gods” with the shenanigans of the people those gods left behind.

I’m happy to tell you Jacob Holo has delivered exactly that. Freelancers of Neptune puts together the formation of a ragtag crew, high stakes adventure, laugh out loud moments, and a gut punch or two along the way.

Expect to enjoy the wild ride and be intrigued by the depth of the universe hinted at along the way—I loved every moment with this story, and can’t wait for more. Also, join me in forming the Beany Fan Club, because sentient coffee trees that just want to support (and caffeinate) their crew should be celebrated EVERYwhere.”

“Ringing endorsement time. So I finally got off my butt and started reading Freelancers of Neptune by Jacob Holo. I’d read his stuff with David Weber and was impressed, so I’ve been really looking forward to diving into his own universe and creation to see what he can do.

Holy.
Sh*t.
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!

Sentient coffee trees, a solar system so changed due to time and technology that it’s barely recognizable, ancient wars in heaven, cat girls, cyborgs … all with more than a little hint of Firefly.

 
 
So if you haven’t pre-ordered Freelancers of Neptune yet, get on it while the going is good. This is a fantastic book and can expand into a wonderful series.“
