Bad Space: Delinquents

by Timothy J. Meyer

Underglow is one of the galaxy's worst ghettos. Slumlords squeeze the impoverished for all they're worth. Murder is common, cheap and no more than ambient noise to most. One wrong step off a catwalk can send someone plummeting ten thousand feet to the moon's surface. What a terrible place for children.

Delinquents is a spacepunk misadventure about preteen criminals, junkyard hideouts and a robbery gone sideways. Set in the Bad Space universe, Delinquents is nonetheless a stand-alone work and counted as Volume Four in the Year of the Horse Anthology, a collection of monthly short stories by Timothy J. Meyer, released in 2014.

[Dan Glaser · Rating 5 out of 5]

For fans of Meyer's "Hull Damage," this is an especially sweet treat. For those new to the Bad Space universe, it's a perfectly nifty entry point. Either way, this short little space ditty is a great companion to the series, and a much-welcomed bridge between the wait for the impending release of Book #2 in the trilogy, "Galactic Menace."
