Beasts of the Wild Black

Explore the Wild Black—where any signal could be a trap, any planet a mystery, and any companion a lifeline—in this trio of high-concept space adventures.

Deep Strike crews are accustomed to hostile terrain. But in Beasts of the Wild Black, Capt. Min Law and the crew of the Thunberg get more than they bargained for when they follow a garbled distress call to a seemingly quiet world. Meanwhile, in Pride of the Wild Black, Min's mentor Maj. Gen. Alice Benner's concern for her missing protégé draws her into a potentially wide-scale conspiracy. And in Lost in the Wild Black a wounded superintelligent cat named Bruce is trapped on a lethal planet desperate to send out a signal, no matter who—or what—hears it.

From the bestselling author of the Tide Child series, the tales that comprise this sweeping space opera collection are set at the outermost edges of the universe. Here, sapient animals, hostile ecosystems, and competing factions will test the very limits of loyalty, ingenuity, and courage.
