Galactic Hellcats

Ki, a quick-witted thief, inherits a high-speed solo-flyer. Selling it could get her off the streets, but she's not that practical. Then she meets Margot, a lonely ex-soldier who impulsively spent her last paycheck on the same kind of flyer. Margot hopes Ki will be a friend; Ki sees her as a quick way to food money. When their lunch date escalates into a trip to planet Ratana, Margot is arrested, and Ki pulls in Zuleikah, a bored rich local, to stage a jailbreak. Together, they free Margot and then make the wild choice to "rescue" Prince Thane from his royal duties. Now, this crew of misfits is tearing across the universe, dodging repo men, authorities, and warring governments as they carve out their own place among the stars.
