Politics, passion, and pudding.
No, this isn't a steamy romance. When Vanti and O'Neill graduated at the top of their academy class, they thought they'd get their dream assignments. Instead they end up in security on Station Kelly-Kornienko. Sure, the station if glitzy, but they're basically well-dressed security guards. Until someone murders the chair of the board. O'Neill and Vanti go undercover to find the killer. Along the way, they learn much more about the station—and each other—than they ever expected. This short story is a prequel to the complete Space Janitor series.
