Heretics of Thran (Distant Stars Saga #0.5)
A “religious enforcer” gets more than he bargains for on a backwater planet.
It was supposed to be a simple job: Nab the deviants and drag them home to Planetia. But Commandant Edrich Dekker soon discovers that there is nothing ordinary about the mission. Not the deviants, not the planet they were hiding in and certainly not the “god” they supposedly worship.
15,000-word novella set before Shadows of Corinar (Book 1 of the Distant Stars Saga).
KL Noir: Blue
KL Noir returns and the third time’s a charm with this selection of 15 stories about law and disorder in the metropolis.

Plunge deep into the underworld where the guilty and innocent rest in peace – or rest in pieces.
