Christmas on the Anvil: On the Anvil, #1

By Michael Penmore

It's the night before Christmas, when all through the ship not an engine is stirring, not even a peep…

It's Christmas Eve on the Anvil and everyone's getting ready for the celebration. Everyone but the spaceship's grumpy XO/navigator. When mysterious Christmas-themed things start happening, can the jaded second-in-command debunk the myth, or will she start to believe in the magic of Santa and the sleigh?

Warning: Filled to bursting with humour and Christmas songs you know and love to hate.

Get into the spirit of Christmas with the Anvil's crew in this light-hearted seasonal romp from the author of Jane Poole Genesis and Her Last Run.
