"The Shadow's Child is a living mindship that was discharged from military transport service after an injury and now makes a living brewing mind-altering teas to help space travelers. When abrasive and eccentric scholar Long Chau requests a corpse from space for scientific study, the ship accepts the odd assignment. When the body she brings back turns out to have been murdered, Long Chau feels compelled to investigate, dragging The Shadow Child with her."--Publisher's description

"This was fun! It was kind of like a Sherlock story in space, if Watson was a sentient ship. I really did enjoy it, and while it was a little light on explanations (I often get frustrated with sci-fi stories that don’t provide explanations in a timely manner), the fact this was a novella helped. I would love for this to turn into a series, I’m very interested in the world and the main characters!"
