The Package Trilogy

A sci-fi adventure series by Ernest L. Ortiz

Malcolm Diego is a cyberjacker living on Unity Station, orbiting Earth. Work is scarce, money is tight, and his options are running out. When his ex-girlfriend asks him to deliver a package to her mother on a colony in the Asteroid Belt, it seems like a straightforward job.

It isn't.

What follows is a fast-paced journey across the solar system β€” from Earth orbit to the Asteroid Belt to Jupiter β€” full of smuggling runs, corrupt officials, ruthless factions, and more trouble than Malcolm ever bargained for.

The Package Trilogy is sci-fi adventure for readers who want a great story without dozens of pages of setting exposition and technobabble. Three novelettes. Three locations. One cyberjacker trying to survive.
