The Process Server

Bob is a Process Server, a lowly functionary. Worse, he's a "Smith," lowest on society's rung in 2253. Well, almost: the poor bastards still living on Earth have it worse than anyone, addicted to the fully immersive MultiNet and doomed to short, pointless lives working for the Big Six Corps. Now Bob's been given a job, to deliver a summons to a bureaucrat halfway across the Galaxy. His 251-year-old pilot Jayde Chen -- a war veteran trapped in the body of a 14-year-old -- is by his side as Bob dodges intergalactic gangsters, rogue AI, religious extremists and marauding corporate tycoons. Can Bob and Jayde free an enslaved race, uncover a murderer and save their ship?
