Being tortured isn't fun at all......especially when it's your ex-flame attaching the battery cables to you. For Captain Brad Mendoza, his month has gone from bad to worse, and now all anyone seems interested in is the galaxy-changing secret that's rattling around in his brain. Whoever breaks Brad can build an empire that will rival anything else in the Fringe!But across the Republic, Jessica Lin survived the attempt to take her life, and she's hunting the evil men and woman who have kidnapped her captain. Armed only with a damaged ship seized from pirates, she must use her wits and a lot of luck to gather a ragtag crew capable of finding and rescuing Brad from the vile mercenaries that hold him captive.Joining her on her quest are Hayley Uvalde, an enigmatic and fast-talking intelligence expert who changes names as often as hair colors, Quinn Boyd, a special forces washout with an unhealthy love of explosives, and Harris, everyone's favorite makeup artist turned mercenary. Together, they'll race against a ticking clock to find Brad before he gives up his secret, dies, or likely both.The fourth and longest installment thus far in the favorite Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes series, The Worst Rescuers in the Republic picks up where The Worst Pirate Hunters in the Fringe left off and takes readers through a twisting and turning science fiction military adventure with a little humor - and a lot of dumb luck - mixed in. Part hard sci-fi and part space opera. Read the series that is delighting readers worldwide!
