Masterlist

Colt pulled off his helmet and gloves and ran his hand through his hair. Space was wonderful, but planet-side fresh air was always welcome. He waved a stevedore away. “I’ve got this.”

Colt popped opened the trunk that lay in the small hold of his planet skipper and fished out the messenger bag. The fist sized box inside was his cargo. His job was to carry it from the home office on Deresla III to the offices on Caberon IV. Colt was mostly an interplanetary courier. No matter how fast communication could travel, some things had to be shipped by hand. His interstellar trip was costing the clients big-time, but not as much as sending one of their own people aboard a cruise liner to get the package. With this trip Colt would pay off his little skipper.

( Some people were smart and some were beautiful, but Colt had never heard of any other person who was both to Orion’s degree )
