First Publication: Asimov's Science Fiction (April/May 2012)

Performed by Aven Shore


"On a remote planet, Kendra is a humble hawker selling souvenirs. When a sale goes wrong, she must seek justice in a galaxy where there is a vast gulf — in all senses — between the locals who service the spaceports and the spacers who travel between the stars."

His work has appeared frequently in Asimov's Science Fiction and Analog Science Fiction and Fact, and in numerous other venues.
