    About this ebook

    As far as spaceships go, warships are armed to the teeth. However, when they are dead in space, even they need a good engine mechanic. And if they're in a fire-fight at the time, they need a better mechanic -- one who'll risk court-martial to save their lives.

    Author

    David Masselink

    David Masselink is a writer. He figured he couldn't make a living writing in Prince Edward Island, so he moved west. For many years, he earned a living in Los Angeles, and had no time to write. So he invented an hour at the beginning of the day, writes short stories, and dreams of moving east where the days are a little longer.
