Every New Beginning: A StarPunk Short Story
Racing out into the deep dark of space, with no backup, no comms, and no brakes...
When Mick Mitchell signed on as the ICS Righteous Work's new chief engineer, she never dreamed they'd be hit by pirates on their first shipping run. The Vulture fighters make short work of their engines and boarders fight their way in.
When the bridge crew are killed, it's up to Chief Mitchell and their massive xeno loadmaster 'Silver' to clear the ship of pirates and get the ship's gravity drive functional again. Otherwise, they'll overshoot their destination, run out of fuel, and be lost to the black.

About the author
Jamie Ibson
47 books12 followersJamie Ibson is a new writer from the frozen wastelands of Canuckistan, where moose, bears, and geese battle for domination among the hockey rinks, igloos, and Tim Hortons.
After joining the Canadian army reserves in high school, he spent half of 2001 in Bosnia as a peacekeeper and came home shortly after 9/11 with a deep sense of foreboding. After graduating college, he landed a job in law enforcement and was posted to the left coast from 2007 to 2021. He retired from law enforcement in early 2021 and moved clear across the country to write full time in the Maritimes.
He published a number of short stories in 2018 and 2019, and his first novel came out in January 2020. He’s pretty much been making it up as he goes along, although he has numerous writer friends who serve as excellent role-models, mentors, and, occasionally, cautionary tales.
His website can be found at ibsonwrites.ca. He is married to the lovely Michelle, and they have cats.
