A relic from a near-forgotten war, an escaped concubine, and planetary annexation. When Mack’s hunt for a crashed war ship goes terribly wrong, Cutter and the crew find themselves embroiled in the politics of rebellion, inter-species warfare and inter-clan domination. Throw in clan rivalries and a cub in need of rescue, and a simple wreck retrieval becomes a matter of life, death and Odyssey. The only question is just how much trouble they can get into before they need help getting back out…and if someone will be there to aid them. NOTE: The main character swears like a sailor, and the support cast aren’t much better. If swears bother you, then this story may not be to your taste.

A short story that includes: An unwelcome reunion A missing child An illegal take-over and a slaving operation All I wanted to do was stay out of Mack’s hands, and well away from whatever game he was playing while working another Odyssey contract, because I was sure Mack had an agenda of his own, and Odyssey wasn’t going to be pleased. As for me, well, I was right in the middle of it…as usual. Mack’s lynchpin. If I could just pull another rabbit out of my hat, and get his scheme to work.
