Jousting for Ma's New Brain
(SHORT NOVEL, INCLUDES BONUS FEATURES)
A kindly man in a vicious game.
A live-fire matchup—victory or death, mortal combat in the skies of a space habitat ... and all in the name of the sport of skycykle jousting.
Gunner Gullnickson, ace skycykle jock and all-around contender, loves his mother and would do anything for her. Yes, he'd do anything, but anything may not be enough. A fatal disease is ravaging her brain. Gunner doesn't understand his mother's illness, but he does understand that without a treatment that he can't afford and that the authorities refuse to provide, she will die a slow and agonizing death.
Now, thanks to his manager, Gunner has a slim chance to save his mother. He must risk everything—his meager savings, his life, his reputation—and go up against a Martian jouster who will stop at nothing to not at bribery, not at intimidation, and certainly not at murder.
