First in the planned heptalogy, Flight Records of The Northern Julie
Mariana Gardner never wanted to hunt criminals. She never needed to know how to shoot or how to find people who don’t want to be found. Content with a second-hand spaceship and a work license, she traveled the stars as a freelance scientist, owing her life to no one.
That was before Michael Azrael, the enigmatic bounty hunter with a taste for insurrection, before the job that would land them on death row, before an expensive bailout courtesy of the paramilitary organization Zygna.
Indebted to Zygna their release and in the wake of a string of failed missions, Mariana is given one last chance to save her career: travel to Oranos, a planet in the throes of a civil war and assassinate the Chancellor. Fail, and it's back to death row, and after a taste of freedom, neither she nor Azrael intend to go back without a fight.
But her ship’s sentient computer missed the memo. And instead of carrying her to Oranos, he has other plans. Namely to gather the soul pieces of the universe’s former most dangerous outlaw...

Very enjoyable book. I started to loose interest in the middle of the book and then it grabbed my attention and it was a race to the end. One of the better books I have read recently.
