Loss Leader

The first colony ship has departed Earth, carrying the hopes of humanity.

Thirty years into the voyage, a malfunction forces Commander Erin Campsie out of cryogenic sleep.

What she discovers aboard the Glory makes no sense.

Locked systems.

Missing supplies.

Secrets no one should have been able to keep.

As the crew uncover the truth, they realise their greatest danger isn't deep space.

It's what was done to them before they even left Earth.

"... pure science fiction and, just between ourselves, an entirely evil tale, suggesting a far more likely approach to Earth colonizing the universe than I have seen in a long time. A tale of space colonization as executed with corporate corruption (the kind you probably, sadly know firsthand), written with a dawning, chilling, believable cynicism" 

A gripping science fiction story originally published in Andromeda Spaceways issue #3
