The Incident on Gamma Seven

By Stefon Mears

A universe where humans struggle to hold the few planets they call their own. Trapped between galaxy-spanning empires. The Kwa-Rekk Federation on one side, peopled by the lizardlike Sarkaanan. On the other, the Ik-Choka Empire, peopled by a race of giant, sapient raccoons.

Humans survive only by keeping these mighty space fleets at war with each other.

Men like Commander Jeffrey Teague make that happen. Teague commands the super-secret Unit 17. Tasked with vicious black ops missions against the Kwa-Rekk and Ik-Choka.

Teague, retired now. Waiting for assassins. Recalls the mission that broke his spirit.

"The Incident on Gamma Seven" – a thrilling short story full of space opera adventure. Daring men and women, risking everything behind enemy lines, coming face-to-face with the horrors of war. From Stefon Mears, author of Stealing from Pirates and Fade to Gold.
