Reyna Vance. The Variable - Ben Patterson

Bounties were supposed to be simple.

Then the galaxy got complicated.

Reyna Vance has a reputation for getting the job done-by any means necessary.

Smart. Ruthless. Always two steps ahead.

She's the last bounty hunter anyone wants on their trail.

Until she takes on Vince.

He's an ex-petty criminal, a walking disaster, and the worst recruit Reyna's ever seen. He can't follow orders, botches jobs, and is one mistake away from being dropped on the nearest wasteland planet.

Yet, when he isn't making a mess, he's fixing things-ships, gear, even dinner. Turns out, the idiot's an engineering savant.

Reyna's crew-ex-con Jace and the ever-lethal android Axe-aren't convinced he's worth the trouble. But when a routine job uncovers corruption at the highest levels of law enforcement, Vince becomes more than a liability.

He might be the difference between walking away... and not walking away at all.

Now Reyna has a problem she can't shoot her way out of.

Can she turn Vince into something useful before he gets them all killed?

Because in Reyna Vance's line of work, mistakes don't get fixed.

They get people buried.
