Fear and Journalism 6

Roxie Vex doesn't just cover the news-she crashes headfirst into it. As an intrepid reporter for the Galactic Gazette, she's got a knack for exposing corruption, out-talking criminals, and narrowly avoiding death. With her best friend Tucker Quinn-a sarcastic fluff-piece writer turned reluctant gunslinger-and her towering, deadpan robot bodyguard Switch, she dives into the galaxy's seediest underbelly, uncovering corporate conspiracies, black-market secrets, and enough shootouts to make a bounty hunter nervous.

This time, Roxie's uncovered a scheme so big it could shake the entire galactic economy. The problem? A ruthless corporation would rather vaporize her than see the story printed. On the run from corporate hit squads, mercenaries, and the occasional unpaid bar tab, she'll need every trick in the book-and maybe a few that aren't-to get the truth out.

With Deadline, her sleek, heavily armed ship (which just happens to share a mind with Switch), she's ready to take on corrupt CEOs, trigger-happy security forces, and an interstellar PR department with a body count. The only question is: Will she get the scoop, or will she end up as space dust?
