Cold Cosmos, Book Two: Payment to Perdition (Unabridged‪)‬

Idiom Lee is a man alone, millions of miles from home. A chance encounter with an alien shape-shifter sent him into a Cold Cosmos devoid of humanity. After the events of book one, he's established himself in the lowest bar on the moving asteroid Panadaras, gambling and serving as a bouncer. Until a sloth-cat creature he calls Slowhand appears and tells him Ginn is in trouble.
