Alien Salvager: A Tall Boys Novella

by Scott Moon

Keeping your sister alive is hard when she’s a galactic troublemaker.

Humans are the newest problem facing the Jitak Regency, or maybe they are the answer to a seventy-five thousand-year-old mystery. When a woman with more courage than common sense thinks she can find the answer, her brother will stick by her side, come hell or high adventure.

If they’re lucky, humans won’t let them down. Their guide, a salvager from the ruined city of Yorp, seems to know what he’s doing.

Together, they will recover the secret to human and Jitak survival.

Fans of Salvager and the Tall Boys series, The Last Reaper, and Homeworld Lost will love this fast-paced novella.
