Captain Cookie Sullivan of the spaceship Linda Rae has a major problem. Her
co-pilot, N’Doro is missing. She has booked cargo for the return trip to
Toshiba Station and needs to leave right away. Not everything is listed on the
manifest so speed is of the essence.
Captain Sullivan is used to checking the bars to
find N’Doro on shore leave so once the ship is loaded and ready for flight she
heads to the nearest bar. Lucky for her N’Doro was there. Unlucky for her he
did something major and has been taken to the Corporation Detention Facility on
the other side of town. Getting him released and back to the ship is just one
of the many problems she has to deal with in the excellent short story, Happy Hour.
This is just one of several tales featuring Captain
Cookie Sullivan of the spaceship Linda Rae. As she did with her short story collection
Inhuman
Condition author Kate Thornton blends some mystery with some adventure,
adds a dash or two of humor, and brings it all together in a satisfying read that
hits the mark no matter the genre. Happy Hour: A Short Story is flat
out good and very much worth your time.
