Secondhand Spaceman Books in Order

Space repossession agent Frank Woods needs the money from his latest assignment, collecting an old security mechanoid. The target refuses to surrender, turning a routine job into a battle of traps, technological tricks and increasingly dangerous attempts to outwit it.

Kidnapped by an alien employer, Frank Woods inherits his father’s space repossession job and an eighty-seven-year contract. With a decrepit ship and an arrogant AI, he must retrieve stolen property from owners who would rather see him dead.

Rival repossession agent Krallix steals Frank Woods’s haul and leaves his ship barely functional. Recovering the cargo becomes a struggle for survival, complicated by ruthless competitors and an alien slime that Frank should never have brought aboard.
