Redwing's Gambit

by Monica Valentinelli

The crew of the delivery ship Haldis is en route to drop off a high-ranking politician on a remote world, but something isn’t right. Someone is sowing mistrust among the crew. The ship has been sabotaged. When Xax, the ship's young medical intern, disappears, it's clear the situation is serious. Can Marrl, the security chief with serious anger management issues, and Cass Leary, the cool cyborg captain, get to the bottom of this before it's too late? Is Xax even still alive? Who's behind all this, and what do they stand to gain?

This is a novella about conspiracy and paranoia in the space-lanes by Monica Valentinelli set in the shared science-fiction universe of Bulldogs!
