Junkyard Dog Collection by Charley Marsh

Get the first three novellas of the Junkyard Dog series in one collection.

JUNKYARD DOG

Bounced through an asteroid field like a pinball, galaxy cop Rita King crashes her damaged star cruiser on a lifeless planet known only as B4629. Her troubles are just beginning . . .

Holding the spot of top pilot in the elite Red Barons leaves little time for anything else in Rita’s life. Maybe that’s why she missed the signs that all was not well in her world.

Stuck on a rocky planet Rita faces a hard truth. Someone tampered with her ship. Someone who should have had her back. Someone she trusted. Until she discovers who wants her dead and why, Rita will never be safe.

Junkyard Dog introduces Major Rita King in a new science fiction series filled with quirky characters, strange new worlds, and a smart and edgy tale of betrayal in space.

KRAKEN BLUES

Monsters in the deep?

Rita King heads to the planet Harmos–her favorite destination for R & R– to recover from her recent ordeal. Harmos is all about Old Earth blues and jazz clubs, fresh seafood, and best of all, her friend Rose’s bath house.

But when someone attacks Rose during Rita’s visit, Rose refuses to talk about it. Her only comment? ”They’re back.”

The next day, Rose disappears.

Saving Rose means Rita must dig into her friend’s life. Worse, it means Rita must face a deep seated fear, one that has haunted her for most of her life. One that might uncover the secret of the mysterious Kraken and their tie to Harmos.

DEADLY CARGO

Rita King cannot let a mystery go unsolved.

Forced to hide from the law agency she dedicated her life to, she heads to the colorful planet Weegan for ship repairs.

The master mechanic Weegans love nothing more than tearing into the guts of a ship. But her friend warns Rita off. Refuses to let her land near his village. Rita’s unerring nose for trouble won’t let her move on until she discovers the reason behind this unusual behavior.

A gripping tale of high stakes on a distant planet in the galaxy, Deadly Cargo delivers another action adventure with space pilot Margarita King.
