Böcker i An Outer Space Mystery-serien

Sleuth long and prosper! ¿When Sylvia Stryker boards her space cruise as a lowly uniform lieutenant, it's with an eye toward the future. After space pirates destroyed the life she knew, she's counting on the trek to Venus to give her a fresh start. Even her side gig working for security stud Neptune feels full of possibilities. But when she finds a body outside her ward after the departure point, her fresh start is as sullied as a worn uniform. The victim is the winner of a contest designed to hype the voyage, and if other VIPs on board get wind of the crime, the certain scandal will jettison Sylvia's dreams. Soon the amorous pull of Venus causes romantic chaos on board, threatening to compromise Sylvia's investigation-especially after she learns the murder victim's secret relationship to her boss. Even worse, she discovers what's waiting for the passengers when they reach the Love Planet and it's not a Valentine. A dangerous threat lurks aboard the space cruise, and if Sylvia can't expose it, she'll be laundering uniforms in the intergalactic afterlife.

Murder...the final frontier Space sleuth Sylvia Stryker has had enough recent success with matters beyond uniform management to go all in on her continuing education. Picking up where Space Academy left off, she turns to hunky hero Neptune (while wear-testing a new, prototype uniform!) for one-on-one lessons. But when an empty space pod lands by their training site and the body of an intergalactic courier is discovered inside, her newly-acquired skills are put to the test. The courier was a friend who shared her interest in back-channel business, and his death seems like a message-or worse, a warning. Determined to seek justice, Sylvia and Neptune hijack a spaceship and assemble a team. But there's more to this trek through the stars than expected, including fifty rambunctious aliens accidentally beamed aboard the ship, some very nasty space pirates, and one suspicious member of the spaceship staff who thought their recruitment message was a call for duty. Now Sylvia's on a quest to catch a killer, but if she fails, she could wipe out an entire alien race in the process.¿

Set phasers to cozy! 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 the uniform lieutenant position on Moon Unit 6 opens up days before departure. Sylvia immediately puts her hacking skills to use, uploading bogus credentials onto the crew manifest. Now to just lay low, do her job, and impress the new boss.Her plan goes off without a hitch until a non-celestial body falls from the uniform inventory closet after departure. Reporting it means drawing attention, the very opposite of laying low. When the head of security shows up to investigate and throws her into the spaceship holding cell, her onboard status shifts from staff to prisoner. If Sylvia can't expose the killer herself, she'll be bunking with her dad at the local space prison.

Boldly go where no cozy has gone before... Uniform Lieutenant Sylvia Stryker is about to depart on her fourth Moon Trek, this time while mentor-and-more, Neptune, serves time in a Federation Council prison for a crime he didn't commit. But when a space pirate is murdered inside the prison and Neptune assumed guilty, Sylvia stands to lose him for more than the duration of his sentence. Forget the stability of her job or her side gig selling uniforms. Her new priority? Prove Neptune's innocence. Faced with a corrupt galactic government, a team of questionable freelancers, and the limits of her physical capabilities, she goes all-in to get him out. Success will restore her status quo, but failure is an all too possible conclusion.¿
