Cold Zero

By Bran Nicholls

Cold Zero
short story
  • Publisher: Bran Nicholls Books
  • Available in: eBook
Buy from AmazonBuy direct from the Author

When retrieving an alien from an abandoned space station, a mercenary must fight for her life, and the alien’s, when her employer changes the contract.

Cold Zero is a classic monster-in-the-box short science fiction story, until it isn’t.

Pick up Cold Zero and take a deep plunge into the darker reaches of space today!

Fun Fact: The main character in the Cold Zero short story is called Anthalia. A quick search on the Internet reveals that Anthalia is “a genus of hybotid dance flies in the family Hybotidae. There are about 15 described species in Anthalia” (Wikipedia). And more from Wikipedia reveals that some of these flies, “such as Tachydromia, are predators that run around on the bark of trees in complex patterns, hence the common name.” Dancing predator flies? Yeah, that totally fits the MC!
