Antimatter Blues
On the colony world of Niflheim, Mickey Barnes is just trying to survive, a feat he attributes to Commander Marshall's belief that Mickey is the only one preventing the local 'creepers' from using an antimatter bomb. But the colony's antimatter supply is dwindling, and Marshall demands Mickey retrieve the bomb.
This mission forces Mickey to choose between his own safety and the survival of his entire colony, all while navigating the complex demands of the alien creepers. With the fate of two species in his hands, Mickey faces a perilous task from which he might not return.
