The cable looked dead. One touch, one violent jerk, and Kael is being dragged towards machinery that could tear his suit apart. Space has plenty of ways to kill you. Some of them have been waiting for years. A moment from Fireglass. Link in comments. #SciFiFri #ScienceFiction #SpaceOpera #Fireglass

Before he became an admiral, eighteen-year-old Ashkar Ravindra took one last mountain trip. Jealousy and hidden motives turned it into a fight for survival, and left him with a mark he would carry for life. Link in comments. #Ink #AshkarRavindra #SpaceOpera

Morgan Selwood is fresh from Fleet Academy and sent to a backwater lab to work on an experimental fighter. But the specifications and equipment don’t add up. Following the evidence could end her career, or save lives. Link in comments. #Supertech #MorganSelwood #SpaceOpera

Jirra rejected the marriage arranged by her family. Their answer was to send a bounty hunter to kill her and restore their so-called honour. Morgan has strong opinions about that. #ASimpleFavor #MorganSelwood #SpaceOpera

Morgan has a flexible definition of borrowing. Apparently, taking Ravindra’s private yacht without asking still counts if she intended to bring it back. Eventually. 😄 #ASimpleFavor #MorganSelwood #BookHumour

Morgan acted to protect her friend. She also disappeared without permission, borrowed Ravindra’s yacht and left him to explain her absence. She had good reasons. Ravindra has good reasons to be furious. #ASimpleFavor #MorganSelwood #SpaceOpera Link in comments
