The Cooks

An enlisted man on an alien planet discovers a method of living life and viewing the world that is so utterly simplistic and makes so much sense, it resonates across the universe. Seaman Noble aids the residents of Saffron, a beautiful world of wildly different colors and amazing cuisine, while working to mine expensive fuel from massive reservoirs beneath the planet's surface. Noble finds himself intertwined with the peaceful residents of Saffron, and cannot stand idly by while they are victimized and mistreated. Can one man and a mind-shatteringly simple view of life stand in the face of a galaxy-spanning Alliance, and win?
