A talented metal worker, glass blower, and maker of jewellery.
Tom Nithercott abandons his Art Ph.D. in London when he applies for a coveted free-settler ticket to Mars. After he submits fake credentials, he’s accepted as an assistant undertaker even though he is really a part-time cleaner.
To secure this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he has two short weeks to meet the criteria to begin space training at the Beyond Earth Corporation in Florida.
He doesn’t have a partner, yet!
Luckily, the methods for processing the dead in space fill Tom with confidence because he won’t have to reveal his fear of blood and needles to pull off this deception. Technology tests go well, and he begins discussing terms with a tech company. However, there’s a prerequisite on any one-way ticket holder: to take their partner.
Dead in Space is another novella in Tech Array, an optimistic near-future sci-fi series of short fiction. If you love stories with quirk this is for you. These standalone stories feature different characters from the First Settlers series, set in the firmament.
