Starlight Booze by Salustiano Berrios (1 Review)    Price verified 7 hours ago

When their starship crashes on an unknown planet, the surviving crew quickly find themselves in an ancient war between giant rats, and giant cats. What's worse, is the war waging within the starship itself, with inflated egos--and unveiled secrets--causing multiple sparks of violence that stretch far beyond choice words. If the crew can put their differences aside and work together, survival may be a possibility... but it won't come easy, and it certainly won't come without death. All the living crew members know is that their cargo starship, the Goya, has crashed. They don't know why. They don't know how. And though the answers are shocking, beyond the pale of belief, the crew members also have to tussle with the reality of their situation, and the world upon which they now find themselves on. A world with a familiar, yet incredibly strange, ecosystem. Things grow large, here. Surrounded by violence both outside of the Goya, as well as within it, the crew must dig deep to survive the dangers that beset them from all angles. It won't be easy.
