I had heard that the author was going to write another story in this series. That said, I would encourage purchasers of this novella to also purchase and readFlash Gold (a steampunk novella set in the Yukon) (The Flash Gold Chronicles)first as it will help the reader understand more about the two main characters.This story picks up a few months after the events of Flash Gold. Kali and Cedar are in a new town and have set up a shop for cliens who might be in need of their unique services. When Kali's ex comes calling with a lucrative business proposition, she reluctantly agrees to his proposal, but only because Cedar has learned his arch-enemy is also in town and this business proposal would put him in an excellent position to try and take him out.I love this series. Plain and simple. I love how its set in the old gold rush days in Alaska. The author blends futuristic technology in with everyday life wonderfully. I especially love how Kali and Cedar are constantly finding themselves in harrowing situations and they always find a way to get out of it, whether using his skills as a bounty hunter or her proficient knowledge of engineering and physics.If you haven't heard about this series, go buy Flash Gold, and then buy this one. You won't be disappointed. I can't wait for the next story in this series!!
