Summary

Step into a universe that mirrors our own, but is strangely different. 
Welcome to the H2LiftShips saga, a cosmic romp that readers can’t stop raving about. Its humor and layered complexity recall The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, while its hard‑science edge mirrors the gritty realism of The Expanse. Along the way, you’ll encounter a kaleidoscope of fringe asteroid societies the crew must navigate that compares to “Firefly.” 
Critics hail the series as “the most wildly original saga ever written.” 
At the helm is Captain Graciela, who's finally escaped her overbearing mother's shadow and taken command of a rented solar-sail cargo ship. The void can be lonely, but Graciela's crew on the LunaCola makes every light-year feel like home. 
Jack, a sharp-tongued talking dog with an uncanny nose for jerky and skills in Dog Chess. 
Tang, an orangutan whose love of poker is only matched by his daring bets. 
Octopus, the calm. water-filled navigation wizard who steers them through the darkest reaches. 
In the first book of the five-volume series, Beyond Luna the crew launches into a high‑octane space adventure that collides with pirates, anarchists, high‑stakes gamblers, and even a stint behind bars. 
Part pulse‑pounding space opera, part speculative tech manual, the series envisions a future where hydrogen balloons lift solar‑sail ships out of Earth’s gravity well, then across the heliosphere, turning interplanetary trade into the ultimate game of risk and reward. 
When Graciela unexpectedly runs into her scheming mother on a remote asteroid, a showdown erupts with pirates, thieves, and gamblers all caught in the crossfire. Will Graciela outwit her mother and clinch victory in a rigged card game, or will the LunaCola crew lose everything?
