Wet Work

Henley is a problem solver¸ an operative for the General Development Corporation¸ a covert soldier in the war to secure humanity's place in the galaxy. The Trojan Reaches has many problems¸ but there is literally something fishy going on in the Dolberg system. Dolberg sits just on the other side of the Imperial border¸ primarily water¸ with a human population over two hundred million. In any normal instance¸ this planet would be ripe for the picking¸ but there's one problem. The entire human population is under psychic control by deep-sea alien whales¸ the hursuuun¸ who have little interest in commerce¸ development¸ or the Imperium. This simply won't do. It's time to go fishing¸ and Henley is prepared to wipe out the entire hursuuun population to free the human population from slavery. His mission would be a lot easier if the humans wanted to be free. This story comes in Mobi¸ ePub and PDF formats.
