Path to Becoming the Greatest Space Mercenary Novel

Avery Asteria never had an ideal life. Forced to leave school due to family hardship, he survives by salvaging discarded materials across space in an aging ship his father had been restoring. It is unglamorous work, but necessary to support himself. Avery is not alone in pursuing wealth among the stars. When he discovers what appears to be an exceptional salvage opportunity, he encounters a pirate crew. Using quick thinking and fortunate timing, he narrowly escapes, but loses the valuable salvage he sought and much of his equipment in the process. At his lowest point, fate intervenes. Avery stumbles upon an experimental vessel abandoned in the distant reaches of space. This discovery transforms his circumstances. The advanced ship provides everything a spacefarer could need and more. Now equipped with this powerful vessel, Avery sets his sights higher. He plans to use it to gather a formidable mercenary crew and establish himself as the leader of the greatest mercenary band in the galaxy.
