C. C. Blake's Sweaty Space Operas, Issue 4 C C Blake

Rick Cave knows a thing or two about transporting stolen goods, but when he gets hired to run a mission to raid an alien tomb in order to swipe and transport ancient artifacts, he soon finds himself in over his head. Trapped inside the tomb with only a limited amount of time before a double crossing partner strands him on planet, Rick must take the one unexpected way out: He dives head first into the carcinogenic slurries still running like sewage under the long abandoned city on a long abandoned world. His air supply is limited, his options are short, and his time is running out . . .

On the road to his next race, "Burn Job" Finster finds himself in a completely different situation: He goes to a casino satellite to try an beat the house enough to get enough boodle to keep his wheels turning and give him an entry stake. The NASTar Driver is once more out of his elements and in deep trouble when he attracts the wrong kind of attention.

Each issue of C. C. Blake's Sweaty Space Operas offers over 10,000 words of action packed science fiction adventure as well as a candid opinion piece "Blake's Take." This issue continues two of the series he began in the long out of print Android's 2 men's adventure magazine. While the issues build toward an overarching storyline each story stands alone. Therefore each issue is a great entry point.
