    About this ebook

    Malcom Lee just wanted to get out of the cold and have a warm drink at the local watering hole on Vega Prime. When he is arrested for a crime he didn’t commit, things take a turn for the worse. Rather than face another stint in jail, he breaks out just as rival asteroid minors start a riot in the city. Being mistakenly identified as a police officer is not something Malcom expected, and has no choice but to help break up the riot. When an opportunity for him to escape presents itself, Malcom must decide between his own freedom and doing the right thing.

      How Prisoners Brought 'Death of a Salesman' to Life

      Dec 14, 2018

      I went to a play the other night. Selected scenes from “Death of a Salesman,” in a men’s prison, with an all-male cast. It was terrible and hilarious, and beautiful. There were no costumes, save for a towel tucked into one guy’s shorts to simulate a

      A half-opened door under a flickering red light caught his eye, and he threw himself inside. To his dismay, he found himself back inside Club Midnight. The man who had picked the fight with him stood in the dimly lit hallway, an expectant look swathed across his pockmarked face. Well, well, he crowed. Look who’s back.

      A pair of muffled voices from outside asked if they knew where the suspect had gone. A
