Negotiation

Off World #4

by Stephanie Vaughan

When Caleb and Sarhaan travel to Mars to negotiate a contract for the team's new courier/protection business, more is at stake than a line of business. Nearly out of funds, the team needs credits to keep the ship flying and themselves away from the long arm of the Republic. Caleb is out to get the best deal he can for team's fledgling business venture, but the man sitting across the negotiating table has more than just business on his mind.

Off world, everything is negotiable.

Very fun (and sexy) short story that revisits Sarhaan and Caleb some months after Off World. If you enjoyed Off World, you'll probably like this short side-trip to Mars as they try to negotiate a new deal for the Vigilant Crew (and enjoy some of the amenities for themselves.) :-)

There are two "for pay" shorts for the Off World Universe, and I recommend reading this before Ceremony. It will read better that way. (I read Ceremony first and I think the ending here felt more repetitive, where as you read this first, it will lead more to Ceremony.)

As a heads-up, Vaughan also has some free short Off World stories on her website.
