In the Clutch ~ by LJ Cohen For the lone Human crew member on a ship full of Quentarians, dealing with the overheated environment isn't her only problem--her supervisor actively dislikes her and most of the rest of the crew barely tolerate her.

Iron Lazarus ~ by David Adams Kwame Bahati donated his body to science.

But his brain was sent to somewhere else entirely. Dreams in the Dust ~ by Richard Tongue Long Shot. A world abandoned, caught in the cracks between galactic empires.
