Trash Heaven has been Didi Duke’s home for as long as she can remember. The dumping ground of the galaxy provides her with everything she’s ever needed or wanted. Except, maybe, the attention of her inventor father, always busy with his next creation. Good thing he’s passed on his talents to his sixteen-year-old daughter. With the company of her best friend—the cyborg crow, Pip—Didi is happy to scour her territory for treasures discarded as trash. But, when an evil Underlord kidnaps her father, Didi can no longer hide herself away in the garbage. Her plan to resurrect a retired cyborg gunslinger and rescue her dad leads her into danger and the heart of the rotting planet—Trash City. She’ll figure out the rest of her plan—eventually.

Didi and the Gunslinger

Book Three: DIDI AND THE GUNSLINGER RIDE AGAIN


She bends far forward, her tummy aching from holding her in place where she half hangs over the massive compost pod. The stench of rotting human waste hits her in the face every time she inhales, her nostrils flaring in grim determination despite her need to retch. At least her compressed stomach can't disgorge from this position, her booted feet swinging from the ground while she grunts against the weight of the massive wrench in her aching hands.


Didi's life used to be easier, days spent exploring her home on Trash Heaven, scrounging parts to build tech that made her life go the way she wanted. For the most part, that is. Even her month trapped on The Homestead had been heaven compared to this. She actually finds she misses the dusty remains of a planet she hated with a passion so powerful she betrayed herself and her friends to the man who ran it for a chance to escape.


Well, she's escaped, hasn't she? Just not as she'd intended.
