Endpoint Insurance — Jane M. Lindskold

Money’s tight, so Captain “Allie” Ah-Lee of the single-ship Mercury agrees to take on a job for AASU Insurance. The job looks simple on the surface. Someone is using the rapidly growing Endpoint system as the base for a smuggling operation. Allie simply needs to find out who is behind the operation and how they make it work. However, before the end she will have tangled with pirates and with someone who even the pirates fear.
