Orbital Operations

Politics, passion, and pudding.

No, this isn't a steamy romance. When Vanti and O'Neill graduated at the top of their academy class, they thought they'd get their dream assignments. Instead they end up in security on Station Kelly-Kornienko. Sure, the station is glitzy, but they're basically well-dressed security guards. Until someone murders the chair of the board.

O'Neill and Vanti go undercover to find the killer. Along the way, they learn much more about the station--and each other--than they ever expected.

This short story is a prequel to the complete Space Janitor series.
