Just one last bet...
Common Sense Officer Ash Payne can't say no to a bet, and the handsome Captain Lin Solis knows it. She just wanted to live up to her father’s legacy on board the Helios, but between her reckless crews’ pet alien, rogue AI, and an accursed pirate hat—she has her hands full.After a bad beat at poker night to Solis, Ash is forced to hand over access to her CSO storage and all the dangers hidden within—dangers that threaten the one person Ash cares more about than legacy. Clone shenanigans, world-hopping, and a "it's complicated" romance are on the table. Will she be able to gamble her way out of this? Or will this uncommon universe stack the odds against her?
The Reviews
“Gambling on Common Sense is hilariously delightful! A lighthearted romp through the cosmos that will leave you wanting more.” - David Hankins, Award-Winning Author of Death and the Taxman
"In "Gambling on Common Sense," readers are taken on a thrilling journey through the cosmos, led by the charismatic and resourceful Common Sense Officer, Ash Payne. This fast-paced adventure masterfully blends humor, action, and poignant moments. Additionally, the cast of characters is uniquely entertaining and the world building across the universe is well-executed..." - Sam Ledel Author of eight novels with Bold Strokes Books
"Gambling on Common Sense is that rare Star Trek satire that also manages to be a very good Star Trek like universe…" - Nikhil Prabala Author of the Dutchess of Kokora
"A punny book, that will hit all your nerd hot spots! If you like Orville give this a try!" - Romance Read Along
The Feel
Gambling on Common Sense is a science fiction comedy with sprinklings of romance and fantastical elements. It is a character driven story with plenty of hijinks along the way. The prose is a bit like if Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's guide, Martha Well's Murderbot Diaries, and Arnold Drake's Guardians of the Galaxy gambled together. That is to say ... it's a fun romp through space, time, and pocket dimensions.

Acerca del autor
Solace is a Colorado Native and lifetime pursuer of creation and craft. He received his education in fine arts from Denver School of the arts and Metro University. He has sought to bring his abilities to many areas and media and has for many years looked to create works in the literary and gaming worlds. His dreams nearly came to an end when he was subject to a cliff fall accident and lost much of the use of his hands and dominant eye, along with brain damage and memory loss. Despite the drawback, he continued to work towards dreams and eventually relearned how to use his hand and create in new ways. Now he works diligently to continue a desire to bring life to ideas and imagery to write words. He creates visual works for his own stories and those around him. "Dreams do not die but change with the next journey and I am a wanderer for life." -Solace
I am an award-winning author writing from the thriving cornfields of Iowa where I live with my wife, daughter, and two dragons disguised as cats. My writing journey began in the oral tradition of convincing my daughter to Go To Sleep with inventive stories. That usually backfired. After years of Just One More Story, I began transcribing my midnight ramblings in an attempt to keep my storylines straight. Children are ruthless in identifying mistakes in fairy tales. I write lighthearted speculative fiction because that's what I love to read and-this is the important bit-there's not nearly enough humor in the world. I aim to change that, one story at a time.I joined the US Army after college and, through some glitch in the bureaucracy, convinced Uncle Sam to fund my wanderlust for twenty years. I have lived in and traveled through much of Europe, central Asia, and the United States. Now that I'm retired from the Army, I devote my time to my passions of writing, traveling with my family, and finding new ways to pay my mortgage.

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
