Curved Space to Corsair

Asteroid miners Big Pete and the Swede deserve a holiday with Maggie and Dolores but the Delta Quadrant is hardly a vacation spot. Pete has kept secret the call to his home planet Corsair to rescue them from disaster. He uses the excuse of Dolores' training to become a pilot to give give her more space hours only to send them through a natural wormhole to an uncharted destination. Meanwhile the Imperium declares war on the Federation while a little personal business by one of the senators leads him off in the direction of the Viridian System to start a canny land grab. Curved Space to Corsair is the second in the Viridian series a proposed trilogy. It follows on from the events in The Perihelix and includes references to events in that book. It's mean lean and occasionally sexy.
