Two stories from the early years of Andrea Cort, later the heroine of the Philip K. Dick Award-winning novel, *Emissaries from the Dead*.“The Coward’s Option”: On the hostile home-world of the Caith, Andrea Cort has been assigned the case of a murderer who’s been condemned to a horrible death. All legal options have been exhausted, but the Caith offer a rarely-used alternative to execution, one that purports to ensure that the accused will never break the law again. Alas, it’s not so much another chance at life, but deliverance into a hell far worse than mere death…“Tasha’s Fail-Safe”: Once, she and Andrea Cort hated each other. Now, the victim of a savage assassination attempt by a traitor to the Confederacy, she lies in an unresponsive state, the identity of her assailant locked inside her head. Can Andrea penetrate a vital secret she never even knew existed?Sorted Author by LN, FN: Castro, Adam-TroyNumber of Formats : 0Uncomma Author : Adam-Troy CastroRecord ID : TEMPLATE ERROR Value: unknown field idAll Identifiers : goodreads:36082668, isbn:978-1-625672-88-9Has Cover : TEMPLATE ERROR Interpreter: Internal error evaluating an expression: 'Metadata object has no attribute named: 'has_cover'' - line number 1Number of Words in Auth: 2Title Length : 019words : 35683Title Parm D : The Coward's OptionTitle Parm F : The Coward's OptionTitle Parm A : The Coward's OptionTitle Parm B : (Num of Aut : 1Auszeichnung : isbn searchedSingle Author : Castro, Adam-Troy
