Rush Job — Amy Laurens

Thief, spy, assassin, Intergalactic Police investigator... Jaime keeps the peace however necessary, ensuring civilisation-ending discoveries stay secret... as a random example. One in no way tied to the rush job the IGP just assigned her.IGP want Jamie to infiltrate Aphelion-the self-contained, AI-run, politically neutral space station-and locate an item which sounds awfully like a surrofish egg, a tool of mass destruction that supposedly died out centuries ago. But plenty of other species lay space eggs. Okay, maybe not plenty, but lots. A handful. At least a few. This job? Definitely not suspicious-or likely to shatter the stability of the entire galaxy forever... Probably... A sparkling, action-packed short novella for readers who love their heists flavoured with technology and sass.
