      Trapped Angel - Eva Holmquist

      DESCRIPTION TRAPPED ANGEL

      LIFE AT DESCANSAR - Heart-warming science fiction!

      Descansar, the largest space station in this part of the galaxy. Home to ordinary people trying to make a living, smugglers and other criminals taking what they thought were the easy route, and security personnel always in pursuit of the truth or at least what they believe to be the truth. A hub for trade, travel, and shady dealings.

      On Descansar everything can happen, and given enough time it will…

      The stories in the Descansar Universe range from the humorous to the thrilling, but all of them centers around humans’ fears, hopes, and adventures.

      Problem solver Angel finds herself trapped aboard Space station Descansar after a night to remember.

      Tiny quarters. Faint humming from the air conditioning. The stink of of eucalyptus, male cologne so strong her head throbs. Pounding an unyielding door. How to escape?

      Only hours left to complete her assignment. She always completes her assignments.

      And this time, the lives of millions hang in the balance.

      Another story in the Descansar Universe about a woman doing the right thing despite the odds.
