Chapter 2 of Starfarers and Tharnians In Space.

Set in a hostile galaxy mirroring real nations and world events, standing against the evil aliens known as tharnians, is a reluctant hero named Jarre, his flippant, 80's retro sidekick Ky, and his 'tough as nails' love interest, Ganna. Never mind the tharnians, along the way our spacefarers will also have to battle each other and themselves (love, lust, anger, addiction and deception are just the entree) in this space opera where everyone is out to get them. It's apocalyptic, character-driven science fiction where the twists keep coming.
