HELL AND HIGH WATER
Jericho Pick is used to trouble, but this time he's in over his head. About a kilometre over his head, in fact. He's on the water world known as Blue Seven, trying to organize a prison break. Mad Maxine got Jerry out of a tight spot once. He owes her, but paying this debt could be murder.
The local revolutionary band says they're willing to help, but Jerry knows they'll chew him up and spit him out the moment it suits them. And then there are the other prisoners. Can he really unleash a crowd of murderous psychopaths on the innocent citizens of Blue Seven?
Prison has changed Maxine. Jerry's not sure he can trust her any more, but there's no one else for her to turn to. Jerry is going to get her out if he has to tear apart an underwater city to do it.
This is a short story.
Genre: Science Fiction
