If Wishes Were Spaceships

by Ainy Rainwater

Overview

When Jazlyn is forced to make an emergency landing on a quarantine planet, the worst she expects to find are a bunch of irate scientists complaining because she messed up the pristine conditions of some experiment. But the buildings look like works of art and the inhabitants are a wealthy scion of a galactic dynasty and an anxious techie. While the compound has all the comforts of home, it has none of the basic hospitality she expects. Cut off from all communication, surrounded by a thicket of dangerous carnivorous plants, Jazlyn must find a way to repair her ship -- if possible -- or hope that her friends find her distress beacon before Sterneworth, the planet's resident tyrant, does something drastic. Can she trust Blaine, the techie who is completely under Sterneworth's thumb, and who desperately wants off the planet by any means? Jazlyn has never been one to knuckle under or buckle under pressure. Nor is finesse is one of her skills. She will tackle the problems -- the ship repair, the bizarre plants, and the duplicitous inhabitants of the planet -- head on. Has the sassy spacer who's used to getting her way met her match in the power and might of the Sterneworth dynasty? Everyone on the planet has a secret agenda. She has a ship to repair...
