Slipstream Alley
O ovoj e-knjizi
Nivala is scheduled for a routine tour of duty in the Major Shells, but the Chakrans have other ideas — ideas that will take the small ship and her unique crew light years away from home.
In another part of the galaxy, Maise Avalon is having a bad day. A really bad day. Her unreliable stepbrother just wagered their ship away, and no ship means no income. She needs a job, and there is only one thing she might get someone to pay her for ... navigating the deadly tides of the infamous Slipstream Alley, where the odds of survival are the lowest in the system.
Just when things are beginning to look up, she realizes that her new employers are not the usual adrenaline seekers, their ship is older than Methusalah — and they are on a wanted list. This isn’t going to end well.
Nivala is on her way to join them in one of the most inhospitable places in the universe, but will she get there in time?

Gillian Andrews lives on an island in the Mediterranean, is passionate about cosmology and writes upbeat adventures set in deep space and unknowable worlds.
Her advice to new authors is to keep on writing, come what may. "Your books may even have a longer shelf life than you. Who knows? Those words you liked so much may be read by future generations long after you have been turned back into stardust!"
