Gateway to the Stars — Pierce Askegren

The first novel based on the top-selling sf role-playing game. Navis Redling is resuming his career as an independent shipper and courier after a year in detox. Except, it really isn't Navis Redling, but rather a fugitive who has bought Redling's identity--including plastic surgery, implanted memories, and Redling's ship. When this mysterious impostor runs into Redling's old enemies, he finds out why this troublesome identity was available in the first place. He's in for far more than a simple trip through Redling's old stomping grounds.
