Meteor Mags: Small Flowers and Other Tales

By Matthew Howard

In the months after "Hunted to Extinction", Alonso’s interspecies band gets a name and performs its first concert during the reconstruction of Ceres, with Meteor Mags on the mic to fuel the fires of revolution.

Kaufman and Anton move into their new home in an old friend’s strip club, Dr. Plutonian gets more than his mind blown, and Mags disregards safety regulations to plug in her free-energy system for the first time.

Plus, Dekarna kills an asteroid full of miners to make a nest for her eggs, but Mags and the space octopuses have a different plan for the last surviving reptile from the Battle of Vesta—one that will give the space lizard everything she ever dreamed of, at a price she never imagined.
