Some wrecks are left behind for a reason. Far beyond the busy spacelanes, a ruined ship circles Triton, carrying the silent weight of a terrible decision and a fortune worth killing for. Two men travel toward it with very different reasons for making the journey, each believing he understands the risks, and each blind to the one danger that matters most. In the emptiness of space, fear, guilt, and greed collide, and every choice tightens the grip of consequences that cannot be escaped. Wreck Off Triton is a tense, character-driven story where space itself becomes a moral proving ground. Alfred Coppel strips away heroics and focuses instead on flawed people pushed to their limits. The story moves with quiet menace, letting suspense build through calculation, regret, and the unspoken weight of past actions. This is science fiction that understands how isolation sharpens human nature, and how the vacuum shows no mercy when mistakes finally demand payment. Alfred Coppel was known for bringing emotional realism and psychological depth to speculative fiction. His stories often place ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, then let their choices define the outcome. In Wreck Off Triton, Coppel delivers a powerful meditation on responsibility and consequence, wrapped in a lean, gripping space drama that lingers long after the final moment.Voir livre

I am Lady Assassin Krunch. Okay, not really. But I'm dressed like her at the CosPlay Con I waited forever to attend. And I play her in the live action role play group I belong to. It's nerdy. I'm aware. But there's not a lot to do for a socially awkward pharmacy technician from Fargo, North Dakota. My life is lonely and boring . . . until I get sucked into a portal through my phone at the Con and tossed into an alternate time on an alien planet. Turns out I am Assassin Krunch after all because this planet makes all your desires come true. Except, I sort of crash landed in the middle of an alien wedding and now Gamalt, the priest of Tala Furi, who is also the groom, thinks I'm his fated mate. And his fiancé—ex?—wants me dead. I may have accidentally started a war. Oops. Gamalt has magic hair and his body lights up like a holiday tree when we touch. He says it means we're meant to be together. I think he has a screw loose. Fine, so he's hot for an alien. But I just want to go home. But my desires could cost Gamalt his life, and the choices I make will have consequences that even Assassin Krunch can't fix. What was that I was saying about my life being boring? Contains mature themes.Voir livre
