Clash of the Worlds

A Novelette from Ray M. Holler Universe

by Martin Lochman

With the Milky Way Galaxy teetering on the edge of a widespread conflict, one man’s choices will ripple across the stars.

Lars Svensson has left behind his military past for a much quieter life as a captain of the Lundgren, an old, rundown mining barge. His routine is upended when a catastrophic explosion at a deep spaceport forces him to take on hundreds of desperate survivors. Tensions run high as the Lundgren rushes toward the nearest inhabited system--but the disagreements among the crew soon prove to be the least of Lars’ worries. Sudden sabotage cripples the ship, leaving them all stranded in the cold void between the stars, light-years from any chance of rescue.
