Parallax: A Space Opera Adventure [Book]

There is fortune to be made across the stars. If it doesn't kill him first. - When Deadeye, a hotshot space jockey, is captured by pirates, he decides to join the motley group called the Redshift Runners.

Maybe they can help him get rich. - These Runners aren’t typical interstellar bandits, however. They risk their lives delivering food and supplies to starving colonies in the outer rim.

- Deadeye gains the favor of their captain, Talon, a driven woman whose schemes will lead them to the ancient boundary separating the colonies from mythical Earth—and guarded by Parallax, a mysterious effect that renders the area unnavigable. - Yet the cost of traveling the stars exacts a heavy toll.
