Space Cowboy Survival Guide in Bloomington, MN

Rule #42 - Don't be a hero. Heroes do shit for free and get themselves killed. It's a lose-lose proposition.
 From his leather Stetson to his long coat and choice of weapons, Shaw Sullivan is just a space cowboy who lives by his own code. A loner by choice, he accepted the contract to conduct a stellar census under duress...it was the only way to save his family's ranch.
