Description

VERONICA MARS MEETS STAR TREK

Discover the first book in an established, sci-fi mystery series featuring retro space vibes, a sharp, unforgettable heroine, and a murderer that won't stay quiet.

When a body turns up aboard a luxury space vessel, Sylvia Stryker--crew member and accidental sleuth--must solve the crime before the killer strikes again. 

Sylvia Stryker has no business being on the next Moon Unit Cruise Line, unless you count aspirations and dreams. The career that once felt within her reach—Intergalactic Cruise Ship Security—disappeared the day her dad was arrested for collusion with space pirates. Since then she’s begrudgingly been running the ice mine for her aging mother, the two of them social pariahs amongst their fellow Plunians.

Everything changes when a uniform lieutenant position on a Moon Unit opens up days before departure. Sylvia immediately puts her hacking skills to use, uploading bogus credentials onto the crew manifest. Now all she has to do is lay low, do her job, and impress the new boss.

Her plan goes off without a hitch until a body falls out of the uniform closet after departure. Reporting it means drawing attention, the very opposite of laying low. When the head of security throws her into the ship's holding cell, Sylvia's status shifts from staff to suspect. If she can’t expose the killer herself, she’ll be bunking with her dad in space prison.

Perfect for readers who enjoy witty mysteries, retro sci-fi settings, and heroines who refuse to stay in their lane.

Book One in the Sylvia Stryker Space Mystery series. Each book features a standalone mystery with a continuing character arc.

Previously published as FLY ME TO THE MOON. Now fully rebranded as part of a refreshed series launch.
