In the Valley, A Shadow

Samantha Tano

An action-packed sci-fi western tale of love, identity, and revenge.

The frontier planet Celestine, millennia from now. It was supposed to be the furthest Alix could get from the Xypha Corporation, that all-consuming entity at the heart of humanity's interstellar expansion.

After the Xypha forward station arrives in orbit, Alix, a transgender pilot, finds herself out of work and her ship grounded. She'll do anything to pay off her mounting debts so she can fly again-even if it means killing for the meanest crime boss in the Isidis Valley.

As Xypha's influence grows, Alix is trapped in a web of betrayal and politics that threatens more than just her life.

Armed with a pair of Plasveld-7s, a sharp wit, and with the love of her life by her side, Alix embarks on a deadly path across the valley. Can she flee Xypha's creeping shadow, or is it time to stop running and stand her ground?
