The Chicolini Incident

A witty short prequel to the pulp sci-fi escapade Starship Grifters. Told from the perspective of SASHA, a sensible robot to the idiot captain Rex Nihilo. Rex delights in coming up with lunatic ideas. He also likes to get blind blind drunk, double-crossing and dealing with the inevitable zany fall out. It's a funny enough short story and it had enough going for it to make me want to read the full novel, Starship Grifters. If nothing else I'm guessing it adds some back story and context to this? Recommended, if you want to kill 30 minutes or so.
