2018 NEBULA AWARD FINALIST: BEST NOVELLA

Floribeth Salinas O’Shea Dalisay is an Off-Planet Worker, employed as an exploration pilot by the giant corporation, Hamdani Brothers. Sent on a routine mission to analyze one of the millions of systems in the galaxy, she stumbles across something that could threaten humanity’s very existence. She barely escapes with her life, but in the process, has to shut down her scout’s AI.

As with all OPWs, she has few rights, and instead of being lauded as a hero, the corporation thinks she is lying. Her managers believe she found something valuable and shut down her AI in an attempt to hide that fact, hoping she can sell that information to the highest bidder. Grounded, and with a huge debt now over her head, Beth has to convince the powers that be that a very real danger to humanity is lying in wait out there in deep space.

Lance Corporal Hondo McKeever is a peacetime Marine. Humanity is involved in a limited war with the alien Klethos, where gladitorial combat decides the fate of worlds, but that doesn’t affect the common Marine or sailor. His career has been training hard but never seeing actual combat.

All of that changes when a new enemy invades the galaxy, one that threatens both humanity and Klethos.

Mankind hasn’t fought an all-out war in centuries, but they’re about to. McKeever is assigned to a special task force with the mission to find out what makes this new enemy tick, and, if possible, stop them in their tracks before humanity is eliminated like so much insignificant vermin.

A genetically enhanced leopard. He serves in the Federation Compact Army for one purpose. To go where it is too dangerous to send “real” soldiers.

Hannibal is one of a four-animal team. A human warrant officer controls them because their free will has been bred, trained, and cut out them. They need orders to follow. Except Hannibal feels the call of the wild. It’s starting to clash with his programming. He is reverting, but has to hide it unless he wants to be executed, his brain dissected to see what went wrong.

The gods of war smile upon the enemy, bringing Hannibal’s internal struggle into the light as he must rise above his programming if he is to lead his fellow animals through the battle. Survive, even if it means they are signing their own death warrants.

Written by a veteran combat Marine, the battle scenes are realistic and will take you on a wild ride through small unit combat. Pick it up today.
