Microbe Hunters

The Future is Microbial
Cordi Akelarre is an exoplanetary cave explorer, down on her luck. After a severe caving injury causes the loss of her legs, the galaxy's big corporations say she's unemployable. So she goes into business for herself.
But when Cordi makes the discovery of a lifetime in a far-flung cave, thugs and claim-jumpers show up to steal it away from her. To preserve her discovery, and to save her future, Cordi has to dig deep and use every dirty trick in the book.
If she's fails, she's probably dead.
But if she's successful, she'll prove once and for all: You don't need legs to kick ass.

Eric "E.C." Stever is the author of science fiction and humorous fantasy. He has been publishing for over a decade.

Eric is a professional archaeologist in Idaho, a former Forest Service employee, and has also worked as a computer programmer. (Dear NASA: If you're recruiting for an expedition to those alien ruins on Omicron-Persei 8, he's the ideal programmer-archaeologist you've been looking for.)

He lives on the River of No Return with a geologist, two unrepentant marshmallow fanatics, and several hundred eyebrow mites (don't judge, you have them too). Alas, the coyotes have eaten his cats.
