Jhyoti: Planetside — Marcelle Dube

Specialist Jhyoti sen Chandar, exoanthropologist on the Alliance ship Solar Wind, thought she had left behind the harsh caste system of her home planet. Unfortunately, it followed her aboard in the person of Engineer Parma sen Harpar: young, hostile and with a secret that will endanger both women. When they end up stranded on a planet with its own dangerous secret, they must confront not only the crippling legacy of the past, but their own future in the Alliance. But first, they must survive.

A short story by the author of Jhyoti: “…a rather traditional story… but very well done… quite satisfying.” -- Rich Horton

Includes a bonus short story: STATION OSCX-9.
