Jason "Jay" Calloway is a fourteen year old teen that, despite a lifetime of misfortune and a serious case of long-term depression, has found himself aboard a stolen spacecraft with a new found family. Together with his indomitable but self-doubting captain, Amelia Hush, and his ever supportive best friend, Timolas Thomas "3T" Tymes, Jay will have to overcome his inner turmoil to survive strange robots, odd aliens, fiendish monsters, and tricky gods. By working like a family will the new crew make a name for themselves in the Milky Way Galaxy or will they become just another meal for a creature from their worst nightmares? Either way, they are on Misfortune's Edge.
