One Jump Ahead — Mark L. Van Name

TWO WOLVES IN A GALAXY OF LARGER PREDATORS

Jon Moore: A nanotech-enhanced warrior who wants nothing more than a quiet life and a way back to his home world. Lobo: An Al- enhanced Predator-Class Assault Vehicle, a mobile fortress equipped for any environment from the seabed to interstellar space.

Jon Moore wanted only to relax on the pristine planet of Mackenbut Macken was the secret battleground of two megacorporations, both determined to control the local jump gate and the riches of an undeveloped world. Jon was too valuable a tool not to be used, willing or not. What the corporations didn't realize was that Moore had a mind of his own and a conscience that wouldn't let him quit until he'd righted the wrong they'd tricked him into making. And Moore has Lobo on his side. . . .
