Star Crusades: Black Widows - Season 1: Episode 3

By Michael G. Thomas

Black Widows: Episode 3 is the third story in a thrilling science fiction series about the infamous all-female mercenary unit. Aboard their heavily-armed ship Medusa, they embark on secretive missions throughout the crumbling Confederacy as it wages a terrible and bloody civil war.

The Black Widows land at the massive Kharybdis 1 Trading Post, deep inside the debris of the shattered moon. A valuable contract is on offer to retrieve an ancient artefact, but to their astonishment, the infamous Seven Sons mercenaries have beaten them to it. With funds low, and Medusa needing much needed repairs, they are stranded and in serious trouble. Until Syala, desperate to prove her worth to the mercenaries, sets out to steal the details of the contract from their competitors. Her success will enable the Widows to beat the Seven Sons to the prize and retrieve the reward for themselves, but at what cost?

Black Widows is serialised over multiple short-read episodes per season, in the same fashion as a TV series. The first season of six episodes is also available in one complete box set. See my website for news on the next thrilling release at www.starcrusader.com.

Season 2 is due for release in September 2017
