About this ebook

The Mind's Eye: Her crew held her together day by day, scrabbling for a living at the margins of the solar system.

Meade would fix everything if she could, her pilot's seat's squeaking on up to the glitchy engines and too small fuel tanks.

But Captain Celeste wouldn't spend money on the Mind's Eye.

So, sweat dripping, Meade piloted the Mind's Eye for the next big score.

If it existed.

    Excerpt: Clash of Lines

    Afterword

    Mind's Eye

    Meade's chair squeaked. Overheated leather squeak, sweaty skin stuck to the leather squeak, metal bearings not maintained squeak. She gritted her teeth. Breathed. Focused her attention on the displays around her even as sweat dripped down her ribs, pooling where her thighs joined her hips, puddling under her butt on the old leather seat that should have been replaced at the last port.

    Too damned hot for clothes in her pilot's cubicle.

    Should have a new chair right now.

    Jaya had promised it would be. Had sworn up, down, left, right, forward and back that the seat would be gone when Meade came back from visiting her family on-station. She'd even put her prosthetic hand over her heart and sworn by her Thor amulet that it. Would. Be. Gone.

    Wasn't.

    So Meade sweltered in her pilot's seat, where the air vents didn't work and the seat squeaked instead of reclining properly and her controls resisted her every time she tried to craft a Wave. Another damned day. Another promise broken.

    Docking bay open, Pilirani called over the comm, her voice tinny because no, of course Captain Celeste of the all-might Prichard Family Lines hadn't seen fit to repair the comm system either.

    Watch your attitude, Meade called back. Too much debris out there, Pilirani.

    I know, Pilirani replied.

    The comms weren't good enough to pick up her tone. The sheer shortness of the reply told Meade that Pilirani was furious, teeth-gritting angry, about where Captain Celeste had insisted they start work. As well she should be. Space walks were never a safe thing, even when you had the very best suits, the best jetpacks, the best backup. Doing it alone with a glitchy jetpack and a suit that was three generations old and didn't fit right in the first place?

    Damn near murder as far as Meade was concerned.

    But then everything Captain Celeste did was right on that edge of murder by neglect, indifference and greed.

    Should have quit her job, found a different berth. Stayed with her family for more than a
