Sci-Fi Saturday: Stowaway

YLLAS YOT by Abe Evergreen is a mix of sci-fi and crime drama, kind of like a simplified version of the 80s movie, Ice Pirates. Yll finds a woman, Ada, hiding aboard his freighter, trying to escape from a planetary crime lord who wants to add her to his brothel.

Ada has an entitled attitude which doesn't go over well with Yllas, and he can't decide if he wants to take her bribe to get her home, or accept the reward for returning her to her captors.

Being a short story, the story left me wanting more. Evergreen should consider turning this one into another mini-series, the way the author did with Dark City.

As always,
