When scavenger and hybrid fox Viva comes across a derelict in empty space, what she and her furry partner, Pandora, discover puts them on a collision course for adventure, fame and wealth—assuming she survives the experience. Teaming up with the derelict's living cargo isn't wise, but the handsome stranger might hold the key to the ship and its many secrets. Add in some pirates out to profit from Viva's living head, and she's in for a wild ride. Delivering the cargo to its rightful owner is the right thing to do, but getting the job done will test her skills, her sanity, and her limits. Originally published in the Pets in Space 7 anthology. Per the author: "There will be some adjustments, but not too much."
Author
RJ Blain suffers from a Moleskine journal obsession, a pen fixation, and a terrible tendency to pun without warning. When she isn't playing pretend, she likes to think she's a cartographer and a sumi-e painter. In reality, she herds cats and a husband, and obeys the commands of Tsu Dhi, the great warrior fish. In her spare time, she daydreams about being a spy. Should that fail, her contingency plan involves tying her best of enemies to spinning wheels and quoting James Bond villains until she is satisfied.
