A story in the The Fading Stars Universe
Some choices are easy. Either face fifteen years in an off-world prison for trying to steal a military battlecruiser or join a crew of interstellar fixers for a hazardous mission. Rembrandt chose the latter and finds much more than he bargained for.
He helped my wife steal my daughter and all my assets while I was overseas serving my country. I had absolutely no idea what had happened until I got back to what had been my home, and now wasn't. I very soon learned that there wasn't a whole lot I could do about it. Getting mad at him would only put me in his jail. Then I made a chance discovery, and worked out a way for me to get even. I took HIS daughter. Her ransom would pay for some smart lawyers. Didn't quite go as planned. / (Reviews)
A Swarm Cycle Story
Last we knew, the Tuull tasked Michael and THE harem to build a new, experimental colony. Getting ready becomes even more interesting when additional Tuull AIs arrive on the scene. Based in Thinking Horndog's Swarm Cycle, this story builds upon prior harem tales and won't be easy to follow unless you've read them. A special thanks to lordshipmayhem who gave me so many ideas about the Tuull, and to Anne N. Mouse who let me build on her story - 'It's A Helluva Job.' Feedback is welcome. Enjoy!
