May Fortune Favor the Foolish

by Steven Radecki

Sometimes you don’t find adventure; sometimes it finds you.

An interstellar trader visiting the space station for the first time, after spending years avoiding it, discovers that another trader from his world never arrived.

After exploring the station for clues to her whereabouts, and a general lack of interest from those he questions, he decides to take it on himself to mount a rescue mission — to a distant asteroid field known to be the home of one of the most dangerous criminal cartels in known space.
