Carl's looking forward to a quiet life with his soon-to-be wife and the child they're expecting. But when Amy makes a simple request, there's a catch. She wants their wedding on Earth so her mother can be there. For a law-abiding citizen, that would be a pricey but straightforward request. For a band of outlaws, flying into the galaxy's headquarters for law and order would be suicidal...without a plan.

He knows the three laws, but they're really more what you'd call "guidelines." Two and a half million terras worth of contraband won't do Carl Ramsey any good unless he can find a buyer. But when dealing with that kind of money, any deal is liable to turn sour when it's time to make the exchange. So when things go smoothly, Carl knows his luck can't be that good. When the double-cross is revealed, the Mobius crew sets out on a chase to track down their stolen merchandise.

When a foiled bounty job results in the Mobius rescuing Mriy's nephew, they divert course for Meyang to deliver him home. Upon her return, Mriy finds that gratitude and resentment don't cancel out. Instead of the welcome she hoped to earn, she finds herself challenged to a ritual hunt to earn back her rightful place in the family. But with the whole clan turned against her, where can Mriy turn for allies?

Chuck and Mort team up to finish a job Mort had to leave undone. A dark wizard is on the loose with a head start and the entire galaxy in which to hide. Their only lead? A mystical connection that Mort doesn't want to talk about. To make matters worse, their target has an accomplice, and it's someone Mort isn't inclined to get rough with.

Comedy doesn't pay. Some might claim that's the wrong cliché, but Chuck Ramsey knows the truth of it all too well. That's why he resorts to crime to pay the bills. His latest scheme isn't to pick up odd, questionably legal jobs near his gigs; this time he's found the perfect opportunity, and he's willing to buy a gig to be in the right place at the right time. All he has to do is get a certain wizard to play his part without knowing it.

Brad went on the run with his sister Michelle. He got away. They're safe. With new identities and a clean start, all Brad has to do is fake being a responsible, law-abiding adult until Michelle turns 18...in nine years. But how long can an incorrigible delinquent keep that up? Meanwhile, Chuck goes out of his mind trying to find his missing kids. With Mort along to help, they crisscross the galaxy, searching for a trail. Family friends haven't seen or heard anything, leaving the pair to confront a hard truth.

On the heels of a crazy, dangerous scheme that he barely got away with, Chuck Ramsey presses his luck and keeps trying. But on Ganymede, in the heart of Sol's wine country, in the territory of a small but ruthless local criminal syndicate, his luck runs out. Chuck sends off quick comms to the rest of the family to get them back to the ship on the double.

Carl anhela una vida tranquila con su futura esposa y el hijo que esperan. Pero cuando Amy le hace una única petición, surge un problema. Ella quiere casarse en la Tierra para que su madre pueda estar presente. Para un ciudadano respetuoso de la ley, esa sería una petición cara pero sencilla. Para una banda de forajidos, volar sin un plan hasta la sede de la ley y el orden galácticos podría ser un suicidio…

Los piratas han tomado y ocupado un mundo de refugiados, y el gobierno en el exilio pide ayuda al único humano del que puede fiarse: Carl Ramsey. Carl, que intenta ser una mejor persona, acepta ayudar en la medida que pueda. Dado que es un famoso fuera de la ley, su plan implica un poco de engaño y falsedad. Mientras Carl desentraña la historia de cómo una flota pirata bien atrincherada fue expulsada de su cómodo escondite y halló el objetivo ideal al que chantajear, se abre paso a través de una telaraña de engaños, intrigas y maquinaciones políticas tras bambalinas.

Carl Ramsey ha hecho lo impensable: ha rechazado un trabajo. Cuando el trato es despreciable incluso para forajidos como la tripulación del Mobius, ha de haber algo desagradable detrás. Carl y sus amigos deciden dar caza a su potencial empleador y entregarlo a las autoridades. Pero como justicieros aficionados, se ven atrapados en un pantano moral de conflictos de intereses. Con la victoria (y una buena paga) en sus miras, ¿podrán soportar la terrible verdad que descubran? 

Un lote de contrabando por valor de dos millones y medio de terras no le servirá de nada a Carl Ramsey a no ser que encuentre comprador. Con cifras semejantes, a la hora del intercambio no es raro que las cosas se tuerzan, así que cuando todo va sobre ruedas, Carl sabe que no ha podido tener tanta suerte. Tras descubrirse la estafa, la tripulación del Mobius se lanza a la búsqueda de la mercancía robada. En cuanto descubren quién los ha tomado por inocentes, sin embargo, todo se vuelve patas arriba.

Si alguien corriera alguna vez el riesgo de olvidar que la magia puede trastornar los equipos científicos y tecnológicos, solo habría que recordarle el incidente de la Estación Móvil de Excavaciones YF-77. Esa pobre y desdichada estación tuvo un mago como visitante, y ese mago perdió el control de sus poderes mientras la estación minera se movía a un nuevo punto de perforación. Privada de todo control de posición, la estación pasó de una órbita estable a un rumbo de colisión contra un planeta desértico y muerto.

¿Qué necesita uno para conseguir un poco de respeto? Como líder de un prometedor imperio criminal, Carl Ramsey no parece tener respiro. Varado en medio de ninguna parte, se ve obligado a depender de la lealtad, la astucia y la promesa de un gran día de pago para mantener a los suyos bajo control. Pero ¿cómo va a cumplir sus promesas mientras supervisa las reparaciones en una nave muerta, reza para que su amante y su mejor amigo recuperen su botín perdido y mantiene a raya al jefe mafioso más famoso de la galaxia a través de comunicaciones de largo alcance?

Empuja a un hombre con bastante fuerza y durante el tiempo suficiente, y él te responderá. Carl Ramsey tiene por fin un plan para enfrentarse a la megacorporación transgaláctica Harmony Bay. Con la ayuda de un nuevo as en la manga, la tripulación del Mobius ha preparado un golpe que podría poner fin al hostigamiento de la empresa: van a robar la nave responsable de las operaciones encubiertas de Harmony Bay.

Carl Ramsey se encuentra entre las manos un acorazado abandonado y un centenar de veteranos de la Armada terrestre dejados a su suerte. Con una Armada que será más feliz fingiendo que no existen, lo más lógico parece convertirlos en un imperio criminal.
