Welcome to Crooked, the first volume of a new anthology series from Bad Intentions Press.
You'll find Teppo's retrieval job gone very, very wrong (or has it?). You'll find Eric Warren's gunrunner getting a second chance and Greg Dragon's smuggler surviving on the edge. Jessie Kwak's bodyguard dealing with a simple job that got quite complicated, Kate Sheeran Swed's unlikely bounty hunter getting her feet underneath her, and Wade Peterson's fighting bot showing its fiercely loyal heart.
The law is represented in this collection, too — you'll find Benjamin Gorman's take on an interspecies police investigation and Mark Niemann-Ross's story of near-future intellectual property noir.
The goal of the Crooked anthology series is to introduce you as the reader to authors who are currently writing sci-fi crime stories, and give you a glimpse into their worlds.
Particularly loved the world building on this one more than the characters.
Well - I'm biased, but I think this is a great collection and I'm proud to be published alongside these authors. Well done, Jessie!
