Earth Wars veteran Jim Turhan loves his quiet life on supply planet Mossera 4, teaching young cadets the art and science of xeno-farming. Pollinator drones never sting or bite. They simply do their jobs. Then crops all over Mossera 4 begin to fail. Will Jim discover the cause before starvation, or worse, turns his dream life into a nightmare? An excerpt from Restricted Species: Maerlis leaned forward, holding the comm in her lap. "I know we're a fresh food outpost, so I hate to ask. What happens to our supplies in that time?" "Considering that the freighters won't bring a damn thing with them?" Jim said. "Besides what little we can't grow here. Even if we warn them, they won't likely be able to detour to another supply planet." "There aren't any other ones close by." Rob's face was as pale as it had been flushed. "Not that they could re-route to." Jim scrubbed his face. His brain didn't want to see the answer, much less say it out loud. "We won't actually starve to death. At least I don't think so. You'll know the nutritional deficiencies we'll run into better than I do, Maerlis, with a year or more before we get a good harvest. But we'll have a planet full of miserable cadets and furious miners on our hands." Jim kept his true worries, and his memories, to himself. He'd seen people as rough and hardened as the miners on a desolate planet. At the end of the last wars on Earth. He knew how more shortages and hardships they weren't prepared for could turn a difficult situation into a nasty one.

Autorenporträt
Kari Kilgore started her first published novel Until Death in Transylvania, Romania, and finished it in Room 217 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, where Stephen King got the idea for The Shining. That's just one example of how real world inspiration drives her fiction. Kari's first published novel Until Death was included on the Preliminary Ballot for the Bram Stoker Award for Outstanding Achievement in a First Novel in 2016. It was also a finalist for the Golden Stake Award at the Vampire Arts Festival in 2018. Recent professional short story sales include three to Fiction River anthology magazine, with the first due out in the September issue. Kari also has two stories in a holiday-themed anthology project with Kristine Kathryn Rusch due out over the holidays in 2019. Kari writes fantasy, science fiction, horror, and contemporary fiction, and she's happiest when she surprises herself. She lives at the end of a long dirt road in the middle of the woods with her husband Jason Adams, various house critters, and wildlife they're better off not knowing more about. Kari's novels, novellas, and short stories are available at www.spiralpublishing.net, which also publishes books by Frank Kilgore and Jason Adams.
