" Listen to a soundtrack preview while reading this. You play Eli, a young man stranded on the antique star freighter Lucky Beggar. You hate space yet here you are. Your co-pilot is an AI assistant who understands your text-written commands and helps you to steer the ship, survive heavy space combat or to find the next gas station.
