Maiden Voyage, a short story about gender and the future of the human race, but also a science fiction thriller, was released July 17. An early reviewer called it “Intriguing, with an interesting plot.”

The all-female Maiden’s Ark left Earth five years ago. A distress signal says Earth is lost, stranding lunar and asteroid colonists. Then someone sabotages the Ark’s vital fertility lab. Security Chief Nina Rekovic must tread carefully between Returners she sympathizes with, the dictatorial captain who strips her of her duties, and an estranged lover who betrays her.
