Triple Strike: A Gathering Storm

by G.M. Gray

Romance may be in the atmo when Colin joins the Merry Swallow’s crew on the beautiful ocean planet of Merak, but for Alan, it’s just another day working the most important and stressful case of his career. Yet Alan’s woes are only beginning. Not only does the pirate confederacy have ties to both the pyrean navy and human corporations, pyrean separatists have gotten involved, and Alan’s employers are about to advance their own agenda, whether or not Alan supports it.

Worse yet, the case is more personal than Alan could have realized. Steele, the man who murdered Sven’s sister thirty years prior is not only alive and well, but ready to return to the public eye in grand, and bloody, fashion — and he has his sights set on the Swallow.

A storm is on the horizon, and as Alan’s fragile happiness aboard the Swallow comes to an end, the only question remaining is — when the storm breaks, will he and Sven be able to weather it?

About the author

I write queer-normative scifi/fantasy, and I'm currently working on Triple Strike, a space opera light novel, which I both write and illustrate.

Its biggest writer influences are Terry Pratchett, Ursula K Le Guin, Leiji Matsumoto, and MXTX, but it also draws a lot from anime and games.
