About this eBook
Captain Alisa Marchenko was ready to settle down to a quiet life aboard the Star Nomad hauling cargo with her finance, the cyborg Leonidas, and her daughter and crew.
But, when a layover on Sherran Moon lasts longer than planned, her ship disappears out from under Alisa’s nose.
With only Leonidas and the Starseers Abelardus and Young-Hee to help her, she must find out why the Nomad vanished, what happened to the rest of her crew, why pirates and mafia are ready to kill for her ship, and how a mysterious cargo ties into it all, or else they'll be stranded indefinitely.
Taking place shortly after the events in the novel End Game by Lindsay Buroker, Spice Crimes is a rousing space adventure set in Lindsay Buroker’s exciting Fallen Empire universe.
This novel was originally published as part of the Kindle Worlds program and has been republished with the permission of Fallen Empire author and creator Lindsay Buroker.

About the author
A life-long resident of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Dale Ivan Smith has his mother to thank for his love of science fiction and fantasy. When he was five, he glimpsed the cover of a paperback sci-fi novel she was reading and was immediately interested. (It had a giant radioactive spider on the cover.) When he was fifteen, she loaned him her collection of Edgar Rice Burroughs's Barsoom novels and he devoured them in short order.
He got into trouble in grade school for sneaking off to the library during class, so naturally he wound up working as a librarian for the Multnomah County Library system in Portland, Oregon.
