Because, Science

An insubordinate tech prodigy. An eight-hundred-pound combat mech. And a bounty-hunting crew that may not survive either one.

Captain Melitta has a spaceship, a dependable pilot, a heavily armed combat mech, and a perfectly respectable career chasing criminals across Sector Ten. Life is good. The bounties pay, the ship flies, and most days nobody gets shot.

Then her uncle saddles her with Angelica May.

Eighteen years old, equipped with a smart mouth and a spectacular talent for turning routine assignments into armed confrontations, Annie might be the worst thing that's ever happened to Mel's bounty-hunting business.

She ignores orders, insults everyone, sabotages assignments, and seems determined to get herself thrown off the ship. Preferably before lunch.

But there's something about Annie that doesn't add up.

Give her a gun and a simple instruction, and disaster follows. Give her a wrench and a mechanical problem nobody else can solve, and suddenly she's the smartest person aboard.

Even more inexplicably, the crew's eight-hundred-pound combat mech has decided Annie is worth protecting. From criminals, from danger, and occasionally from her own captain.

Now Mel has a failing business, a pilot who's losing his patience, a battledroid developing a mind of his own, and a teenager who might be hiding considerably more than a talent for trouble.

Somewhere between the firefights, mechanical catastrophes, and arguments nobody ever wins, four unlikely companions are about to discover that the hardest thing in the galaxy isn't catching criminals.

It's learning to trust one another.

BECAUSE, SCIENCE is a hilarious, action-packed, and unexpectedly heartfelt science-fiction adventure about bounty hunters, troublesome technology, second chances, and the family you never saw coming.

Because sometimes the most complicated problems in the universe have nothing to do with science.
