Produktbeschreibung

Joan Chikage is a young and untested lieutenant on the deep space cargo ship Goodall. She lives in her head most of the time, and what she wants most in the world is to stop being scared. To prove her mettle. To show her capricious captain that she's worth his respect.

But that's not possible stuck in the laboratory running tests on beetles. So she tries excelling at her task, until suddenly her beetles don't matter anymore. The captain she both admires and fears unceremoniously jettisons her part of the ship and leaves Chikage and her crew to die. Without warning, without explanation, Chikage gets the chance she's always wanted. To be a hero.

There's mutiny, murder, and betrayal. There's rising to the occasion, and there's failure. The beetles come back, proving themselves important after all. And finally, there are pirates. In the end, it looks like Chikage's going to die, right alongside the captain she's trying to save.

A coming of age adventure set in deep space. A young woman uncertain of her strengths gets the chance to change. Fast paced. Unexpected. Space opera. There's even a cat in it.

All three books in one volume.

Autorenporträt

Gretchen Rix--I write Texas cozy mysteries in the Boo Done It series set in Lockhart, the barbecue capital of Texas. Tag line: Where there's more than indigestion brewing.

I've worked as a bookstore clerk, a newspaper writer, and a book reviewer. I've had jobs as a professional typist, a truck dispatcher and a health insurance claims processor. I learned a lot from these jobs. But my true inspiration for these mysteries was our family's stubborn, huge, skittish and always-hungry dog Boo Radley. This dog could drag anybody into an adventure.

My sister and I created and ran an international ghost story writing contest. It lasted four years. Now I no longer ever desire to be a magazine editor. I go to science fiction conventions. I'm a member of RWA. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I take the motto "Keep Austin Weird" seriously even though I live 35 miles away.

"Talking to The Dead Guys" is the first in a series of murder mysteries about a dog, strong women, and small-town living (or is it dying?). Check out all my books at http://rixcafetexican.com and my blog at http://gretchenrix.com.
