Playground

from Stardrifter · host David Collins-Rivera

A Stardrifter short story. Zimon lives rough, near the outer hull of a space colony, and far from the general population. No real home, no real comfort; for him and his companions, hope, prospects, and dignity are rare and fleeting. But a young stranger who enters their midst shatters the quiet desperation of Zimon's endless night, and very quickly, the pain and suffering of a lifetime rises to the surface, and a dark lesson is taught, in the Playground.

Open All Night and Other Tales David Collins-Rivera on Podiobooks.com A teenage girl with a choice to make; a stand-up comic running from his past; a woman giving birth while her world is torn to pieces. Space stations, starships, and people just being people. Five stories from the Stardrifter universe! Motherload David Collins-Rivera A remote corner of a bleak system...A broken-down gunboat, stuck in space...An incompetent captain and a misfit crew...A pirate ship, a silent target, and a whole bunch of secrets...So how's YOUR day going?There have to be easier ways to make a living -- easier than dying slowly in an obsolete boat, as its power drains out and life support fails. Forget the job; forget the pirate problem: there's only time for a desperate jury-rig and maybe a little hand-wringing! And anyway...what are the odds of running into trouble way out there?Set in a distant future among the stars, this series introduces us to Ejoq Dosantos, professional gunner for corporate and privately-owned armed merchant ships. Pirates, venal business interests, and interstellar intrigue abound, but sometimes it seems like Ejoq (who might have a slight authority issue) is his own worst enemy!This novel is the first story in the Stardrifter series.
