CROOKED V.3: A Sci-Fi Crime Anthology

Welcome to CROOKED V.3! This third installment in the Crooked anthology series brings you ten more stories of space crime. The goal of the Crooked anthology series is to introduce you, the reader, to authors who are currently writing sci-fi crime stories. Many of the stories in this collection are set in larger universes, which means that if you read something you like, you'll find plenty more in that author's catalogue to keep you busy.

Jobs will go wrong. Backs will be stabbed. Mayhem will break out.

And things will definitely explode.

You're gonna love it here. I promise.
