QSFer Angel Martinez has a new mm sci fi humor book out in the Brimstone series: “The Hunt For Red Fluffy.”
Someone abandons a pedigree hellcat right where Shax can conveniently claim her and sets off a cataclysmic domino line of events. It’s time for the other shoe to drop since the Brimstone has a shadow cabal after them – partly due to Shax’s own, er, interesting decisions and partly due to the presence of Agent Julian Parallax onboard.
As ship security officer, Ness has a lot on his mind—a dangerous new pet, even more dangerous criminals tracking the Brimstone, and yet another unexpected rescued guest. The last thing he needs is a distraction and Julian, who confuses and confounds him more every moment, is exactly the distraction he doesn’t need. Between Shax’s reckless gambits and Julian’s disregard for his own safety, how is Ness supposed to keep anyone safe?
The Brimstone and her intrepid crew do all they can to stay one step ahead, but this time the hunters are closing in.
Excerpt
Here it was, then. He would either be acceptable, or he would be dinner because, oh yes, she was one of the larger breeds. She sat and lifted a paw to wash, eyeing him with a wariness that fell between hope and hostility.
