Space pirate Captain Kristy Ryan grew up the only daughter of a notorious privateer in the Border Planet Region. She learned her trade the hard way - there were no free rides on her father's ship.
Now, she has her own ship, the Unicorn, and successfully works in the shadows, the fringes of legitimate trade. Her life is just how she wants it even on those days when her pilot and lover, Andrew Bennet, drives her crazy.
But an unexpected visit from the Military Space Alliance changes everything. Her father disappeared while working a dangerous mission for the MSA. Now, she's being blackmailed into finishing his mission.

To fulfill her late brother's wish, an ordinary girl named Reina is determined to board the most mysterious pirate ship in the galaxy - the Strawberry. After countless twists of fate, she finally sneaks aboard... only to realize she may have made the biggest mistake of her life.

As truths emerge, the AI realizes that even computers can make miscalculations, and it focuses on the young woman who had dared to confront it.
