Three rollicking sci-fi novellas from Davi Mai. Vagabond, Proxima Bound, and Warp Factor: Bitch Synopsis for VAGABOND She was born stunted. A runt. From her snub-nosed bridge to her chubby rear thrusters. An ugly child, spat from the womb of a Martian shipyard generations ago. Now charred and pitted with craters, the scars on her battered titanium skin tell a hundred stories. This is one of those stories. Join Brenda, the Vagabond's cantankerous bitch of a captain as she leads her crew on a treacherous mission; to haul a mysterious pod from the outer reaches of the solar system to the Martian colonies. It's up to Chief Engineer Rat, a scrawny little pervert, to stop the Vagabond's plasma engines exploding. When he's not polishing the mirrors on his shoes. Be seduced by the beautiful but deadly Communications Officer, Katomi. What she can't solve with her body, she'll solve with her collection of knives. Her enemies die with a smile on their face, and a blade in their belly. Will the Vagabond reach Mars before Brenda runs out of whiskey and gets REALLY mad? Will Katomi burn in hell for seducing that monk back on Jupiter Station? Will Rat ever get into Katomi's pants, and survive the encounter with all his appendages attached? And just what's inside the mysterious pod? Synopsis for PROXIMA BOUND Humanity's last hope rests with the colonists aboard the generational starship Attenborough. Bound for Proxima Centauri, a thousand years away. Catastrophe strikes when a reactor meltdown cuts off those in the ship's front from the rear. Two factions must now struggle to survive. With four hundred years still to travel, we join plucky teenager, "Thief". She's found a way through the ventilation system, around the radioactive core of the ship and into the front sections. Thief brings back vital components that might help the rear-dwellers connect the ship's computer. For the first time in hundreds of years, there is hope. But people are disappearing without a trace, and the makeshift hospital is overflowing with cases of a new virus. It's up to Thief to embark on her toughest mission yet. To crawl through the bowels of the ship, the furthest she's ever been, and find some answers, before there's no-one left alive. Synopsis for WARP FACTOR BITCH When you wake up in a cage, at a slave market on an alien planet of sentient lizards, you might be forgiven for thinking "Life's a bitch and then you die", before surrendering all hope. Jen decides instead that SHE'S the bitch, and she's going to give life a swift kick in the balls. Or the lizard equivalent of balls anyway. Join her as she fights back, on behalf of her devastated human race in this rollicking sci-fi novella that's sure to offend someone.
