First they framed him. Now they want him dead. After an accident in space cost Joe Ballen three of his limbs, he's finished as a space engineer-the only job he ever wanted. Now, with a replacement arm and legs that don't work so well, all he has to look forward to is life on basic income and a small medical pension that he drinks his way through all too fast. But when Joe helps a beautiful woman who's desperate and needs somewhere to hide, he ends up losing four days out of his life. What's more, he wakes to discover he's wanted for murder and the theft of a space freighter with a cargo worth millions. Now the police have all the evidence they need: fingerprints, his security access codes, video of him committing the crime, and even his DNA from the crime scene. Joe's only chance of proving his innocence is to track down the woman he helped. But he's not the only one looking, and the corpses are piling up. Get in on the action and find out how it all began in this prequel to David M. Kelly's popular Joe Ballen series. Fall guys don't come any snarkier!
