Tales of Hayven Celestia

Something long and sinuous eclipsed the searing sunlight. Lifeless and limp, the krakun captain of his vessel spiraled nearby. His commander. His better. His god.

He failed. Failure. Unworthy.

He'd run. The breeching pod had come through the wall, and he'd run. The laser at his hip had never even cleared the holster. He'd seen the look of disgust on his commander's face as he'd gone past in the opposite direction. Coward. Puppy. Worthless. Then something hit the hull, and whipping atmosphere carried him out into the freezing, burning void of empty space.

"Tales if Hayven Celestia" features thirteen stories of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances far beyond their making or control. They will succeed or fail by only the thinnest of margins, and the stakes have never been higher. They are gambling not only with their own lives but their whole worlds—everyone they have ever met and even some they haven't.
