Ensign Lu Chin, Martian Navy, has a problem. The Federation has defeated the Martian Navy and killed off what little was left of the crew of her drydocked ship, a fast interceptor.

She’s managed to steal ten kilos of platinum, but she can’t unlock the ship’s security codes so she can make a getaway from Mars. Just to make matters worse, she and her ship have been taken over by three unusual “pirates”.

Here’s the story of how Zack Mbele “acquired” the Profit.

Bonus: a preview excerpt of "Glowgems for Profit", the next book in the Profit Logbook series.
