Hyperdrive (2006)

The crew of HMS Camden Lock start negotiations with various alien civilisations to sell blocks of the Peterborough Enterprise Zone. When things fail the first time, Space Force demands that Commander Henderson and his crew have to find another buyer within a week. The task doesn't get easier with an alien killer machine on board and the navigation system dropping out.

Henderson, Teal and York try to make first contact with the Queppu but are instead greeted by crossbow fire and are accused of being rebels. Meanwhile Jeffers, left in command of the ship, enters into a space race.

Vine buys a planet while Teal contrives to be alone with Henderson at the officer's ball.

Henderson, miffed at being usurped by the Americans negotiating peace between two alien races, takes matters into his own hands with explosive consequences.

Clare Winchester, a record-breaking British space-sailer, has been driven a bit mad on her latest solo expedition when she comes across the slightly more mad crew of HMS Camden Lock.

The crew of HMS Camden Lock are subjected to an extremely strict assessment test causing Henderson to seek the solitude of his cabin leaving York in command.
