On the Fields of Honor

Lock eyes with your opponent and draw your weapon—whether it’s a vibroblade on a rain-soaked Earth or a plasma lance in the weightless void of space or even a plain old sword. We’re seeking electrifying science fiction stories for this anthology of duels that pit skill, honor, and desperation against each other in one-on-one confrontations. From neon-lit streets to asteroid arenas, these are tales of personal stakes and deadly precision.

Haunted Freight

Christie Burgunder is running the asteroid graveyards in a battered courier with a mining laser and a suitcase that should never have left Mars—pirates already on her trail. So are the Jovian Marshals. So is a bounty that will not stay cheap for long.

Jarret Spragg and Sabrina Forro need a payday. The Hellcat just came out of refit broke, and twelve thousand credits looks like enough to keep the lights on. Then Jarret recognizes the name on the contract. The widow of a man he once served with. Turning her in would be easy. Walking away from the job is not.

In the Concord Graves, wrecks hide more than scrap. Fighters launch from “freighters.” Old debts surface. And the cargo Christie is hauling is not just contraband—it is bait for factions that do not miss.

Haunted Freight is a fast, grimy space-opera bounty hunt of rusted hulls, running gunfights, and the kind of loyalty that gets you killed.
