The Stellar Snow Job

For Alannah Jackson, space is not the final frontier. As a professional travel writer, she strives to create the best and most conscientious travelogues to every visitable planet in the galaxy. But she might have bitten off more than she can chew when she agrees to survey a previously unexplored world. Private investigator Richard Hart is an expert in interstellar human affairs. Weary of idling in space station bars, Richard and his snarky pilot, Eddie Macías, jump at the opportunity to take on an unusual and highly classified mission. (Anything beats retrieving lost pets or sorting out cheating spouses!) The new job whisks them, and their tiny but trusty spaceship, the Colibri, away to a distant solar system. Unfortunately, it's in a corner of the galaxy overseen by a menacing power that's not particularly fond of human involvement. Will Alannah compose the ultimate, authoritative guide to an undiscovered land? Will Richard and Eddie make it home alive and, ideally, paid? There's no planet too distant, no job too strange, for Colibri Investigations!
