Gel looks like a Human teenage girl who somehow has her own spaceship and courier business. But the truth is she's an alien who only appears to be human and she has mad powers of teleportation that allow her to move people or objects to most any place she's ever been. There's just one hitch, her own people don't trust her and have put her on probation. Can she run her business avoid trouble, and not reveal her powers to outsiders? The current gig should be easy: The king of an alien world has died, his body mistakenly been shipped to another planet. All she has to do is collect his corpse and return with it before a deadline. It's a little creepy, but should be easy. But... the king isn't dead and he doesn't want to go home!
Author
Lawrence M. Schoen holds a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology, is a past Astounding, Hugo, and Nebula, nominee, twice won the Cóyotl award for best novel, founded the Klingon Language Institute, and occasionally does work as a hypnotherapist specializing in authors’ issues. He is a chimeric cancer survivor. His science fiction includes many light and humorous adventures of a space-faring stage hypnotist and his alien animal companion. Other works take a very different tone, exploring aspects of determinism and free will, generally redefining the continua between life and death. Sometimes he blurs the funny and the serious. Lawrence lives near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with his wife and their dog.
