Furman Simms and the Problem Princess by Justin Knight

Furman Simms is an intergalactic bounty hunter. A man who lives his life one day at a time, taking whichever jobs he pleases, visiting various planets, and shooting various people, all for a payday.

After one such job goes messy, Furman is offered a rescue mission. The planet Himal is hosting a free speech event, but it is invaded by masked hipster protestors who are intent on causing havoc, assault, and property damage. Furman must rescue two writers, guests of the event, as well as a pampered princess who is in the wrong place at the wrong time, or is she?
