The Ballad of Purgatory Ridge

After surviving a brutal war of annihilation against a mysterious and implacable foe, Captain Dylan Cook finds the only solace is at the bottom of a bottle. With his beloved ship, Magpie, sacrificed for the ultimate victory and all his friends either dead or spread out among the Five Systems, he tries to live his life in solitary peace.

Until the day an almost literal ghost arrives offering him a new life, a new but familiarly named ship and a crew of misfits and fading memories. When their first job as cargo haulers turns out to be a lot more complicated than they could ever imagine, the crew find themselves in a race to fulfil their obligation while trying to avoid a new war. Only, this time, it won't be a war against faceless enemies, but against old friends and former colleagues.

A sci-fi blockbuster in the vein of Firefly/Serenity and The Expanse.
