"I had come to accept that I cared for him but I still deeply resented the fact that I did. I didn’t come aboard the Cado to develop a crush on the Captain. I came to fix a computer problem, to save the universe. Ok, honestly I didn’t know why I had come – maybe just to escape prison..."
So far, nothing has gone the way it was supposed to after Len Scherwitz was recruited from her federal prison cell by the CIA to save the universe.
First off, she was never supposed to fall in love with the Captain, a sadist who enjoys making her life a living hell. Then, she was never supposed to end up making friends with the rest of the crew of the Cado, the space-yacht with a history of bad luck endings for its past occupants. She wasn’t supposed to land on a dirt hole of a space-port, get kidnapped, fall into a hole, learn to use a gun, fight the bad guys, figure out everything she’d ever known was a lie, become a leader and then get betrayed in the end. Oh yeah, and all this while trying to keep her shameful past a secret from her newfound friends.
None of that was supposed to happen but it did and now Len has to learn that, above all else, she must always remember that she’s only human.
