Busboy Blues

In the distant future, self-proclaimed brilliant veteran pilot Zachary Von Dyetrich, AKA: VonDye, once had a cushy job aboard a space-faring transport vessel. Private quarters, three square meals a day, and good pay.

But when the crew found themselves accidentally facing off against a big time criminal organization, and Captain Naiya Beddau was thought to be killed, Zach finds himself the sole surviving crew member of the bloody battle. Difficulties with adjusting to the loss and a penchant for shooting things and hacking systems kept his options for honest work close to zil.

Until the day Captain Naiya turned up alive.

Daughter of a famous restaurateur, she managed to pull some strings. Soon, VonDye was living on a distant planet at the Beddau Estate, working at the family's high class restaurant.

But his knack for danger and trouble was far from diminished. Quickly, he learned that life at a famous restaurant could not only be just as bizarre as that of a spacer's, but also often as dangerous.
