H2LiftShips - BosonsWave^2

The 4th volume in the H2LiftShip Series pits rogue algal rockets controlled by semi-sentient, somewhat angry tailGel-AI tablets against the Heliospheric Navy. Captain Graciela Lucerne, on her repaired and renamed BosonsWave^2, joins forces with Commodore Herb Grauer on his Gorilla Class Fast Cruiser to bring the HiveWar to an equitable finish.
Graciela, a human female, and Herb, an Eastern Mountain Gorilla, may have started the Hive war, and now they had to figure out how to end it.

We start at the end of the heliosphere and follow Hans and Jingles scrapping exotic ions born at the intersection of the heliotail and cosmic rays as they try to return to their former occupation, busting asteroids for fun and profit while avoiding the Asteroid Union who banned them from the job they loved.

Graciela's parents escape the algal-slimed HuB asteroid and join their daughter on Luna, where the repaired and renamed Solar Sail ship travels to Earth to purchase cargo for the asteroid miners. She has the pleasure of showing her family the difference between living in ZeroG and on a 1g rock with its oceans, deserts, and tasty carne asada burritos.

The usual assortment of pirates, gamblers, and merchants round out the story as everyone tries to move forward after the bioGel ATMs are compromised, and the economy crashes.
