Smuggler's Valor — T.D. Wilson

Smuggling precious cargo to a remote colony was supposed to be easy. I was dead wrong. Awarded Silver Honorable Mention in the first quarter Volume 40 of L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future contest. Smuggling is a dangerous business and Reese Daniels has the score of a lifetime within his grasp; however, getting shot down on one of Uranus' moons wasn't in his plan. Stranded and on the run in the middle of an alien invasion, Reese must work with a group of Marine cadets to escape a grisly fate. The characters were well developed, the world was interesting, there was action and comedy.
