Kristine Kathryn Rusch: Escaping Amnthra
A novella set in the middle of her book Renegat, which is part of her Diving Universe SF series.
Publication year: 2020
Format: ebook
Publisher: WMG Publishing
Raina Serpell was a linguist and she loved her work. But now, she’s the reluctant captain of the starship Renegat. She can’t trust her remaining crew. None are officers and they don’t know much about operating the ship. Many of them are also purely lazy and argumentative. But she’s determined to get them home. All of them.
Now, they’re orbiting an unknown planet. An unknown enemy is shooting at Renegat. Raina doesn’t know how to operate the weapons, and everyone is looking for her for leadership.
This was a short and very dramatic story. Raina and her problems are wonderfully realized.
However, I’m not sure how easy it is for anyone who hasn’t read the series to understand it. So, I recommend reading another story from the series first. However, the book Renegat is really long so I’m not sure if that’s the best place to start. This story does have spoilers for Renegat.
