#83 Summer's End by John Van Stry

[missingvolume]

 Dave’s past has finally caught up with him and a stepfather he has never met has a hit out on him. Dave’s bio mom abandoned him as a baby to be raised by his poor day and she never looked back once she returned to her super wealthy family. By chance the first engineer’s birth his brother has located for him is a good fit and has a great boss to show him how to live in the outer system. Things take a turn when he is captured by pirates but because of his engineering skills he is able to trade work for release. And then things really start falling into place for him. Dave is a nice guy who falls up the entire book. Even when things look bad, they come out ok in the end. The book was enjoyable, and I would probably pick up the next one to see what happens.
