About this listen
Tom Savage is intent on homesteading, and Phaethon is the newest planet open for colonization. Here, technology is lacking in many places. And for 200 credits, anyone can claim one square kilometer of prime farmland.
But Tom has a secret or two. He is not interested in farming crops, at least not at first. Tom wants to harvest pieces of Phaethon’s sun.
To do so will mean first reaching his stake out near the desert, surviving human predators along the way, bringing fugitives to justice, and dealing with the resident sand dragon population.
All in a day’s work for your local star farmer…
Veteran science fiction and fantasy author, two time Kindle Scout winner Jaxon Reed presents an all new space western set in the Milky Way’s vast frontier! Fistfights, bar brawls, and gun battles pepper this fast-moving and fun romp, with high-tech hijinks meshing with Wild West drama. Download today!

But Tom has several aces up his sleeve, including a surplus space Marine battle bot and a local AI. No one on Phaethon has ever dealt with someone as resourceful as Tom.

Story
Sometimes a farmer can turn a profit by diversifying his crops . . . Tom Savage and Gwen Wilder have a farm hand now, Silas Vick. And Silas has some ideas of new things they can grow out here. That might be good, since a lot of stuff got destroyed recently, meaning they'll have to wait on more equipment from Lute before continuing experiments. Tom's got other responsibilities, too, with a list that seems to be growing along with the farm. At least Lisa’s capabilities are expanding, with greater communications and teleportation capabilities. Meanwhile, Wink and Jinxie have more smuggling ...
