Hunt for the Hydra

When you’re a privateer, running a spaceship is a family business. For Tycho Hashoone, his twin sister, Yana, and their older brother, Carlo, the family business is far from easy.

They have to please the Jovian Union, a coalition of planets that provides the Hashoones their letters of marque. Meanwhile, they have to make money however they can, all while dodging the dreaded Jupiter pirates. But hardest of all, the siblings have to impress their mother, Captain Diocletia Hashoone, who keeps a log of how they perform on every test, simulation, and mission. Because while the three siblings might be crew members together aboard The Shadow Comet, only one of them can be the next ship captain.

Talk about sibling rivalry!

When Tycho uncovers a conspiracy that suggests Earth may be gearing up for battle with the Jovian Union, the Hashoones suddenly find themselves caught in the crossfire. This could be Tycho’s chance to prove he’s captain material — as long as he doesn’t get the ship blown up first.

Part high-seas adventure, part space-age epic, the Jupiter Pirates is a wholly original saga about a galaxy on the brink of war and one unforgettable family caught in the middle of it.
