Book excerpt: Contains the first three books (Books 1-3) of the Mack 'n' Me 'n' Odyssey series. From runaway to space adventurer and retrieval specialist, Jocelyn Cutter has come a long way. This omnibus collects the first three books of the Mack ‘n’ Me ‘n’ Odyssey series chronicling her journey. Taken from the human traffickers aboard the ‘Lockyer’s Transport’, Cutter finds herself an unwilling conscript for Odyssey, an unaffiliated para-military organization dedicated to protecting the spaceways and all points in between. Kicking free of them takes her onto the ‘Shady Marie’ and its not-so-merry band of mercenaries. Now she has to discover if she’s really leapt from the frying pan to the fire, or if life aboard the Shady is going to be better than she dares to hope. Join her as she finds out exactly that. NOTE: The main character swears like a sailor, and the support cast aren’t much better. If swears bother you, then this story may not be to your taste.
