About this ebook

Knox defends his own.


Space is a deadly business, a truth Knox has experienced first hand. That's why he's so protective of his ship and family. So when pirates plunder an impoverished town--a town that's earned Knox's guarded friendship--he's going to do something about it.


Knox knows the pillagers will be back for more, so his town needs protection from any and all pirates, for years to come. Only one way to do that. His friends need shields to keep their town and children safe, and Knox will get those shields. Even if he has to steal them.


Knox devises a carefully crafted plan and hires the perfect crew. He’ll “borrow” from Caravan Suppliers—the Goliath of space shipping—a company that can afford to lose an expensive shield generator. No one will know he was there. Unfortunately, no plan survives contact with the enemy.


But Caravan Suppliers has a dirty slave habit, and they’ll kill to it keep secret. When Knox stumbles onto it, he endangers his crew and his family. Will this operation cost Knox more than he’s willing to pay?


From debut author Marjorie King, Maverick Gambit is the first book in the Maverick Universe. With a layered galaxy full of rich characters and thrilling heists, it’s perfect for fans of JN Chaney and Timothy Zahn. Scroll up and get your copy today!

Maverick's Gambit starts building a rich futuristic world from the very beginning. Through the eyes of Knox and his crew, we're introduced to life in colonized space. The technology that makes life possible is brought up without being over explained. There was a lot that didn't change when humans left Earth. People that are vulnerable are exploited, but good people stand ready to defend them. By the end of the first chapter, I was ready to stand with Knox against the human traffickers that had stolen the children of people he loved. The characters are what made this story for me. While the plot is well paced and exciting, it's the cast of relatable people, with their flaws and virtues, that drew me in and kept me engaged throughout the story. As they work through their mission to steal shields to defend vulnerable villages, they learn to work together and build relationships that feel authentic and life long.

I loved it. Funny, quirky, lovable characters. This is a better version to a previous offering from (un-named) author. Almost the exact same story line, enhanced humans and an Interesting Captain, but is written sooo much better. Thank you!
