Jump Drives and Coffee Stains - Paperback

by Jamie McFarlane (Author)

In space, the real adventure starts after the warranty expires.

Rix Banner just wants three things out of life: a working coffeemaker, a ship that doesn't try to kill him, and maybe-just maybe-a full night of sleep without someone pounding on his hatch asking for "one tiny repair." Naturally, he gets none of them.

Between duct-taping patched coolant lines, arguing with an ancient navigation computer, and wrangling Patience Station's maintenance headaches, Rix can barely keep ahead of the chaos. His shop is overflowing with broken photonic barrier generators, impounded cruisers, and a growing list of "favors" he apparently owes half the station.
And that's before the jobs go sideways.

A routine cargo run turns into a mechanical nightmare involving exploding coffee, structural rot, and a ship held together by sheer stubbornness. Amari's past keeps knocking on the door-sometimes with warrants-and Kel keeps disappearing on risky deliveries that somehow never go to plan. As trouble mounts, Rix finds himself neck-deep in station politics, pirate fallout, suspicious law enforcement, and a whole lot of equipment that definitely did not come with instructions.

Fast, funny, and fueled by equal parts chaos and caffeine, Jump Drives and Coffee Stains cranks the wrench harder, flies faster, and doubles down on the blue-collar, grease-stained heroics that made Boltguns and Duct Tape an instant favorite.
