A plague world.
An abandoned android.
And three bears with a stowaway problem.
When an abandoned General Labor Unit, stows away aboard the Sleuthstar, the ursine crew must decide what to do with her. The android is the property of Colonial Services, but she's also clearly sentient, extremely dangerous, and more than a little useful to have around.
GL has trust issues, but the bears who take her in quickly become her crew... and her chosen family. If she wants to stay aboard, however, she'll need to convince them she's not a threat. She'll have to prove herself, and to overcome her directive to return to Colonial Services as soon as the Sleuthstar is in range.
Rightful Salvage is an award-winning furry science fiction novella. Hop aboard with three spacefaring bears and their golden android... and remember to strap in. It's going to be a bumpy ride.
