Exposing Danger
Welcome to Sunday Blog Share. Today, we’re continuing a look back at previous Canoples Investigations books, in preparation for the most recent release in this series. BD, Cassie, Carl, and Terry have always been about taking care of those around, especially little kids. They all have what they call “charity cases” where they don’t earn any creds, but they do make station life safer for children.

In this episode, the crew faces something they’ve never before experienced and the books take on a a new look. BD is “grounded” after attacking a visitor to the station, a man he’s sure is Dr. Janos Markus—the father of Erin Markus and a despicable man who is cloning pets that become rabid. Instead of waiting on confirmation of his suspicions, BD dives into action and soon finds himself locked up in a small room to pay a penalty. In order for Security to complete an investigation they’d started long ago on another station, Cassie and Wade step in to take up where BD can’t in this new adventure.
There’s a carnival on the station, with all kinds of “legally” cloned animals, more than a few zero-G acrobats, and miniature clowns. BD’s ever present suspicious mind latches onto one thing when the advance team for Galactic Carnival arrives to begin preparations for a weeklong visit. The ringmaster looks familiar, but the man swears that he has never been to Canoples Station before. Even worse, children five and under are disappearing. A bit of investigating on BD’s part clues him in to the fact this has happened on every station Space Dodger Space Circus has visited so far. He’s determined to uncover the true identity of the ringmaster and solve the mystery of the missing children, but at what cost. Is BD willing to lose his lifelong friends to solve this case? Will they prove Jenna Rock, Wade’s girlfriend, isn’t involved?
The normal sounds of the promenade seem wrong. I have a sensation of impending doom, much like the moments before the space pirates showed up. The desire to leap into action is very strong, so much so that I’m literally leaning forward with my fists clenched at my side.
“Easy,” Carl murmurs. “You don’t know for sure it’s him.”
Of course, I know this man we’re watching is our quarry. How can I not know that? Not that his appearance is anywhere close to his daughter, who right now is aboard Fomalhaut for a very long stay. Erin Markus did lead Spacers Rule, a galaxy wide ring of splifters, but she wasn’t in charge.
Oh, no, she was far from in charge of those thieves. The person with that responsibility has just entered Canoples Station and is talking with none other than our less than ethical governor, but I have no definitive way of proving that.
