Gray Stargazer

by Thomas Webb

Jasper Zisu has his own little corner of the King's Jewels, far away from the mainland. By day, he works a cattle ranch. By night, he loses his wages in saloons, downstairs at the blunder tables and bar and upstairs with hired female companionship.He's miles away from who he used to a knight, fighting for Coervus, the god of civilization, against the Hylok, the indigenous people of the colonies whose lands were mostly taken from them in the wrecks, or Reclamation as the King named it.One morning, a boy named Mandy shows up at his shack, calling himself Jasper's son. The boy's mother is about to marry a bad man with a strange symbol tattooed on the back of his hand.Jasper must make the decision to help his son and the boy's mother, his former lover. If he does nothing, he will never amount to more than vulture food and, though he doesn't know it, the fate of life on this world could hang in the balance.
