{"product_id":"finder","title":"Finder","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom Hugo Award-winning debut author Suzanne Palmer comes an action-packed sci-fi caper starring Fergus Ferguson, interstellar repo man and professional finder\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fergus Ferguson has been called a lot of names: thief, con artist, repo man. He prefers the term \u003ci\u003efinder\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e His latest job should be simple. Find the spacecraft \u003ci\u003eVenetia's Sword\u003c\/i\u003e and steal it back from Arum Gilger, ex-nobleman turned power-hungry trade boss. He'll slip in, decode the ship's compromised AI security, and get out of town, \u003ci\u003eSword\u003c\/i\u003e in hand. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fergus locates both Gilger and the ship in the farthest corner of human-inhabited space, a backwater deep space colony called Cernee. But Fergus' arrival at the colony is anything but simple. A cable car explosion launches Cernee into civil war, and Fergus must ally with Gilger's enemies to navigate a field of space mines and a small army of hostile mercenaries. What was supposed to be a routine job evolves into negotiating a power struggle between factions. Even worse, Fergus has become increasingly--and inconveniently--invested in the lives of the locals. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It doesn't help that a dangerous alien species Fergus thought mythical prove unsettlingly real, and their ominous triangle ships keep following him around. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Foolhardy. Eccentric. Reckless. Whatever he's called, Fergus will need all the help he can get to take back the \u003ci\u003eSword \u003c\/i\u003eand maybe save Cernee from destruction in the process.","brand":"Suzanne Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54522720387285,"sku":"BS-I6J-421069","price":24.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/7170\/2485\/files\/9780756421069-HD.jpg?v=1786812695","url":"https:\/\/www.acornbookshop.com\/products\/finder","provider":"Acorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
