Dex Marrow makes a living from whatever the universe throws away. Staying alive long enough to sell it is the difficult part.
Aboard his battered warship, Dex hunts rare minerals, bargains with questionable traders, and stretches his luck further than his fuel supply. He's willing to scrape a fortune from a giant space serpent's teeth. Getting involved in other people's problems is where he draws the line.
Then the Galactic Force arrests him.
Imprisoned in Lord Tiser's Mercy House, Dex discovers a system where cruelty is treated as kindness and obedience is the price of survival. His best chance of escape lies with Malor, an alien shapeshifter whose abilities are restrained by a deadly collar. Together, they form a partnership that gives Dex something far more valuable and dangerous than his next payday: someone he refuses to abandon.
Their search for freedom and fortune carries them through strange worlds, ruthless encounters, and a trail of mysterious technology connected to Tiser's rule. As the pieces come together, keeping his head down becomes harder to justify. Standing beside his friend could mean confronting a power worshipped as a god.
Dex has spent his life telling himself the universe isn't his responsibility. Now he has to decide how much he's willing to sacrifice for the people trapped beneath its rulers.
Dex Marrow: Scrapstar Chronicles blends dark humor, brutal danger, and an unlikely friendship in a science fiction adventure where even the smallest scavenger can become someone the powerful should fear.
