Grind the Void

Grind the Void (Jax Dart, Space Bastard - Book 2)

A Queer Sci-Fi Comedy About Space Drugs, Bad Decisions, and Pirates Gone Wrong

Jax Dart swore she'd given up making terrible decisions. Then came the Stardust.

Now, the galaxy's most dysfunctional crew is back aboard the Lucky Bastard-broke, bruised, and one bad contract away from total annihilation. When a mysterious new drug called Stardust hits the black market, turning spacers into gods and corpses in equal measure, Jax and her crew of outlaws, aliens, and ex-cons are the unlucky bastards hired to move it.

But nothing in the void is ever simple. Rival cartels, corporate assassins, and the ever-persistent hangover of bad luck close in from all sides. Kip and Ludo are high enough to see through time, Zorblax might be melting-or ascending-and Jax? She's just trying not to die sober.

As the Bastard hurtles from bar brawls to asteroid fields to existential crises, Jax has to face the one thing more dangerous than interstellar crime syndicates: her own past. The Stardust isn't just a job. It's a reckoning.

Fast-paced, irreverent, and bitingly funny, Grind the Void is the second installment of the Jax Dart, Space Bastard series-a queer space opera for fans of The Expanse, Good Omens, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Expect cosmic chaos, found family, and a captain who never knows when to quit.
