Void All the Way Down

VOID ALL THE WAY DOWN(The Sliding Void Omnibus) This is the Sliding Void Omnibus edition, comprising three novellas: Sliding Void, Transference Station, and Red Sun Bleeding. DESCRIPTION Captain Lana Fiveworlds has a hell of a lot of problems. She's sliding void in an ageing seven-hundred-year-old space ship, scrabbling around the edges of civilised space trying to find a cargo lucrative enough to pay her bills without proving so risky that it'll kill her. She's got an alien religious freak for a navigator, an untrustworthy android for a first mate, a disgraced lizard for a trade negotiator and a deserter from the fleet acting as her chief engineer. And that was well before an ex-crewman turns up wanting Lana to rescue a barbarian prince from a long-failed colony world. Unfortunately for Lana, the problems she doesn't know about are even more dangerous. In fact, they just might be enough to destroy Lana's rickety but much-loved vessel, the Gravity Rose, and jettison her and her crew into the void without a spacesuit. But there's one thing you can never tell an independent space trader. That's the odds...

REVIEWS Praise for Stephen Hunt's novels: 'Mr. Hunt takes off at racing speed.'- THE WALL STREET JOURNAL'Hunt's imagination is probably visible from space.

Great fun.' - SFX MAGAZINE FORMAT Omnibus - Includes three previously novellas. Part 1 - Sliding Void Part 2 - Transference Station Part 3 - Red Sun Bleeding
