Moss Effect | eBook

Absolutely wonderful . . . This book is a treasure!’ – Sarah Beth Durst, bestselling author of The Spellshop, on Mossd In Space

Encounter a dangerous deadline, forced proximity and a plant with a plan in this second instalment of Rebecca Thornes fabulously cosy Mossd in Space series.

If Torian Razner was taking bets, ‘getting stranded on an alien homeworld’ wasn’t on the list for today. (Moss had it at Possibility no. 3,794, but no one consulted the ship’s computer.) And yet, this is exactly where Torian finds herself – in a grassy field alongside (her definitely-not-girlfriend) Amelia Perrosk.

Torian didn’t ask for this, but she certainly won’t complain about this forced proximity. And as her and Amelia traverse an alien landscape, things heat up, and Torian can’t quite remember why they shouldn’t be together.

But if they don’t return to their ship in three days, Amelias quartermaster will reveal the location of their vulnerable human colony to predatory smugglers. Fortunately, their snarky plant companion, Moss, is thrilled to try a distinctly human tactic: blackmail.

If you love Fireflys adventures in space, the lovable alien cast of MassEffect and the cosiness of Legends & Lattes, this is for you.
