The Adventures of Wil Calder: A Space Opera Adventure by John Wilker

Wil Calder through no fault of his own, get’s shanghai’d by alien pirates. That was a while ago though.
Now he’s a smuggler with a ship of his own, just trying to get by.
He finds himself a crew of random misfits, and despite his mental picture of what being a Captain with a crew, everything goes sideways.
This group of misfits finds themselves in the middle of a galactic conspiracy, and they’re the only ones who can expose it. If they live that long, and that’s in no way guaranteed.

Wil and the crew thought their lives would be normal after literally saving the Commonwealth. Ok, saving is a bit of an exaggeration, but still.

When an old Friend of Zephyr’s calls to hire the team, no one thinks anything of it.
Eventually they’ll learn.

They find themselves exploring a millennia old space ship run by a malevolent artificial intelligence that represents a hive mind entity bent on wiping out biological life.

Back to saving the galaxy. Too bad it doesn’t pay better.
