The Vela is a serialized space opera forthcoming from Serial Box, which I co-wrote with Becky Chambers (The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet), Rivers Solomon (An Unkindness of Ghosts), and S. L. Huang (Zero Sum Game). Concept by Lydia Shamah.

Gun-for-hire Asala Sikou is used to looking out for number one, especially in a solar system that’s slowly dying as its sun cools.  But when she and hacker Niko are sent to find out what became of a vanished ship of refugees from the frozen outer planets, they stumble across a secret that could mean life or death for the entire system.

Features a tough trans woman heroine and her nonbinary sidekick, big space battles (I may have helped with that part), rampaging mobucks, grasshen cup noodles, intrigue, and death-defying antics.  Don’t miss out–order the season today!
