The Trekker Omnibus, released by Dark Horse in 2013, was edited by Jim Gibbons.
Mercy St. Clair A young, troubled bounty hunter working the streets of New Gelaph. Her skills are unmatched but her stubbornness and tough exterior tend to hold back her personal relationships. When we first meet Mercy she is scraping by on bounties from tracking down criminals the over-taxed police can’t reach. As the series progresses, Mercy's journeys carry her farther from her home city into blasted wastelands, other cities and the stars. As her world expands, she becomes aware of the forces that shape her role in the greater playing field of interstellar human society. In the midst of this morally ambiguous and complex universe, Mercy gets the sense that she has a larger role to play.
Molly Sundowner Mercy’s best friend and owner of a modest music store in New Gelaph. Molly is self-possessed and blessed with a generous outlook on life—something she tries, often unsuccessfully, to transfer to the stony Mercy. On the surface, they seem oddly matched, but ultimately no one is more important to the emotionally distant Trekker.
Paul Clemmons Mercy's erstwhile boyfriend. A cop on the New Gelaph force, Paul is surprisingly emotional for an officer of the law and is hellbent on getting Mercy to open up to him.
