A Precious Cargo (Starship Perilous Adventure #1)

by Alpert L Pine

Overview

Blake Starwater is captain of the Starship Perilous. Traveling along with him are the frisky Felioness, Kitty, and the cynical robot, OMBot. Together they soar between the numerous Known Worlds, taking on the jobs that other space crews won't do. The risky jobs. The dangerous jobs. The sometimes less-than-legal jobs.

After being contacted by an Aran -- a race of beings known as "eight-leggers" -- the crew of the Perilous travels to a planet that is home to one of the Known World's largest volcanoes, to the ruined science orbital floating overhead. Their mission is to discover whether the Aran's progeny have survived the catastrophic blast, and if so, to return with them.

Will the job be a breeze, or will the crew find themselves in yet another sticky situation?

About the Author

Alpert L Pine lives and writes in a small cabin, off the grid, in the Northwest United States. Once per week, he treks to the nearest town on foot—rain, snow or shine—and spends the day transferring his material into a digital format, with the help of the kindly librarians whom he has befriended. When he's not writing, he spends much of his time with a metal detector, looking for a rumored Templar treasure which is said to be buried somewhere nearby. To date, he's found a few nails, an old Liberty head penny, and a strange amulet. For free stories, news about past and future releases, and more, visit his website: AlpertLPine.com
