The warship Richmond has accidentally released a new life form on Jan Costa's space station. Now Costa must find the creature and resolve a potentially dangerous situation.

About the author

I am a writer living in the Sonoran Desert of the American Southwest, to which I relocated from my childhood home in Illinois. I have a B.S. in plant biology from the University of Arizona, and have in the past worked as a laboratory technician for that institution. Most recently I worked for Steward Observatory, as an inventory coordinator. Among other things, I am also a student of history, natural history, astronomy, and backyard horticulture.

Reviews

[Michael Edward · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second short I have read from this author and he did not disappoint. The pace, the action, the characters, this is another fun read. I got sucked right into it. I just wanted more. I wish it was longer but I knew that going into it.
