Far Stars, New Trade

Jack's a bigwig now. Playing in the big leagues. Boss of the biggest shipping and trading company in the sector. Controls most of the interstellar FTL freighters available there. It's an asset of great strategic significance. It's attracting a lot of unfriendly interest. Can he handle it? (By way of pleasing the Gods of the River of Literary Plenitude, and any other sentient beings fond of categorization this is a Space Opera Adventure with military and trading elements as major themes. It has both marines and space fleets. Space carriers, space destroyers, star fighters, and interstellar freighters. Spies and politicians make an appearance. Difficult choices and luck, good and bad, abound. Good fights are fought and won sometimes, but usually at some cost.)
