I just got the new cover created for the second edition of Novis Terminal. This will make it easier to tell the difference between the first edition and the new one, which should be out sometime between mid-May and the end of May (depending on editing).

Here’s the new cover:

Here’s the new blurb:

When space hauler Daphne Blazefire arrives at Novis Terminal with a cargo hold full of spare parts, she expects the usual grumpy dockmaster and a quick turnaround. Instead, the station is dead quiet—and completely abandoned.
Before she can figure out what’s going on, she’s ambushed by a gang of thugs who steal her ship’s most valuable asset: RUSTY, her loyal, slightly sarcastic, robot sidekick and best friend.

But all isn’t lost. Daphne discovers Ashley, a sharp-witted technician who managed to escape the same crew that kidnapped the rest of the station’s personnel. Together, they hatch a rescue plan… which immediately goes sideways in spectacular fashion.

With a half-baked strategy, a pair of borrowed stun pistols, and a ship held together by duct tape and determination, Daphne must outsmart a shadowy criminal ring, rescue the missing crew, and get RUSTY back before he ends up as scrap.

Space is cold, but Daphne’s coming in hot.
