Benjamin Stanton has always wanted to pilot star ships since as far as he can remember. His best friend, Dain Burr'den, a half bear half man hybrid from a long line of genetically modified humans, wants to get enough money together so that he and his mate can settle down. Aina is an artificial intelligence that wants to escape her gilded cage. When Dain is sentenced to death in a lawless section of space, the three steal a prototype smuggling ship from a black market robber baron named Darian Mathias and try to escape into the vast reaches of the galaxy. But Mathias, who is obsessed with the ship and the AI, will stop at nothing to get them back. Now the three have to survive anyway they can, taking whatever jobs they can, while trying to evade bounty hunters looking to make a fortune by capturing the crew.

This is a story i self published on amazon.  I did so with the intention of seeing what people thought of it, but it kind of got buried and I couldn't get much feedback.  I figured I'd put it here to see if I could get some good feedback.

Computer updates are simple, right? Apparently, that's not always the case when it involves a Spaceship's AI in the middle of deep space. We have always relied upon technology to travel through space, but sometimes that very same technology has a mind of its own... (This story has a happy ending) -------- Sneak Peek: A flashing orange light in the top corner of my handheld device prompted me to check the system status page. My jaw dropped. All sorts of systems were going offline. Water, sewage, air, heating, cooling, weapons, and many more. What was going on? The Overseer was more decisive than I was. "Go help get the air systems back online. We can eat dry rations for two weeks, but we can't hold our breath for that long." I took off running once more. I hadn't gone far when I almost ran right into Logan. I asked, "What going on?" He grabbed my shoulders urgently. "The main computer's AI is taking over the entire ship. I need to get to a backup mainframe to try and reverse the upgrade, but I can't find the room! The AI messed up the electronic maps, and I have never been to this one before! Where is the Delta access room?!" My mind tried to wrap itself around the details as I gave directions, "...then turn left and it's by the plumbing room on that level." "Thanks!" He took off running. ------- Please note there is no romance in this story. :) A huge thank you to @JimenaVivancoo for making the cover! Copyright April 2018. All Rights Reserved.
