TALES FROM THE AMBASADORA-VERSE: GREENSHIFT



The following is part of a novella set in the Ambasadora-verse one month before Ambasadora begins. It follows the love story of David Anlow and Boston Maribu, more affectionately known to her friends as Mari. Click on this link for another snippet which runs concurrent with this scene that I posted a few Saturdays back.

Killian and David's brother Ben had had a run-in last year at a bar here at the Hub. What was the name of that overpriced dive? The Atlas or Atlatl or something that started with At. Though David had been there when Ben and Killian went at it, and eventually jumped in by his brother's side, the likelihood of the contractor remembering him was remote.



David could stave off this confrontation a bit longer by heading back to the Bard, make them come knocking at the ship's gangway, but why invite trouble into your home? Though he still hadn't settled into the idea that the pleasure cruiser turned science vessel was home. Maybe in another few weeks.



"Anlow, how's your brother? Did he jump ship, too?" Killian's voice was smooth and confident.
