Star Crusades: Black Widows - Season 1: Episode 2 — Michael G. Thomas

Black Widows: Episode 2 is the second story in a thrilling science fiction series about the infamous all-female mercenary unit. Aboard their heavily-armed ship Medusa, they embark on secretive missions throughout the crumbling Confederacy as it wages a terrible and bloody civil war.

The Black Widows head for the massive transport ship MS Monterey, captained by the tough as nails Lothar Bartholomew. Following a series of difficult operations, they need to take on supplies and collect payment for a recent contract. While the Widows look forward to some time away from Medusa, Syala has other plans. She is looking for information as she desperately tries to locate her missing sister and the sinister slavers they tore her home apart. What none of them realise is that something left Skylla with them, and now it's on the ship and stalking its prey. As the death count rises, only the Black Widows can save the day, and Syala is caught up right in the middle of it all.

Black Widows is serialised over multiple short-read episodes per season, in the same fashion as a TV series. The first season of six episodes is also available in one complete box set. See my website for news on the next thrilling release at www.starcrusader.com.

Season 2 is due for release in September 2017.
