About Jane Carter of Earth and the Rescue that Never Was: A Gunslingers Short Story:
To boldly go where no Earthfleet Academy Xenolinguistics major has gone before.
Jane Carter never thought she’d be the first human in the galaxy to be sold at an alien slave auction. As a xenolinguics major, she always wanted to explore new frontiers, but not like this.
As the bid price rockets to staggering heights, it becomes increasingly clear that only one man can rescue her: the one who sold her out. Thankfully, there are alternatives to being rescued.
