Debts of My Fathers (Father Chessman Saga Book 2)

Michael Fletcher has finally come of age. His inherited ship stands ready, and he earned his Captain’s license. But it’s not the easiest thing to hire a crew, especially when some spacers have been working longer than he’s been alive. Add a vendetta from the mysterious Father Chessman’s piracy syndicate, and Michael quickly finds out there’s a lot more to being a captain than having a license.

Deep space is a dangerous place to go in a ship with a crew of six strangers and a price on his head. Can Michael earn their trust before disaster strikes, or is it already too late?
It's the space-opera analog of the Mayflower landing in modern Boston, filled with high technology, different customs, and 747's cutting their travel time down to hours.Battling conspiracy, politics, and even pirates, Maggie must rise to the challenge or face her colony's doom.
