Could this be the worst job interview in the entire history of the universe? Possibly. So when Elton D Philpotts lands his dream Space Corps accountancy job he can’t help wondering how it happened.
And why.
​
Somebody in the Space Corps needs Philpotts, and they need him bad.
​
But the work is dull; nothing like the glamour job he expected. Until he sees things he should not have seen: A hidden ledger, dodgy accounting transactions, bogus gate receipts.
​
And when a whole starship disappears, who are they going to blame?
​
A frantic race across the Sphere of Influence takes Elton and his hapless band of followers into adventure and dangers none of them could ever have imagined.
Deep Space Accountant is the first book in the Sphere of Influence series.
