Hi folks,

I'm at wit's end on finding this Science Fiction book that I've read a few years ago and liked very much. I can't recall the author but I think the title MAY be "The Prodigal Son" or "The Prodigal Son Returns" or some variant. I'm not quite sure.

The protagonist is a woman. She was a merchanary pilot of some type who had a talent for hyper-jumping. Very few at the time had this comodity to stay concious during a jump so they were pretty sought after. She befriended a robot/android companion who was "male". One of the issues she was facing was that she was starting to burn out from too much "hyper-jumping" and had to start doping because she would sometimes momentarily black out during a "jump".

Spoiler:
And I think she was hired to deliver a package or case of some sort. I remember that the robot male character, she thought was a good guy until the end revealed that he was evil all along.
I can't recall much other details about it.
Any help would be appreciated

NEVERMIND I found it!
