Hydroponic Hazard
(2026)(The first book in the Retirement Starship Mysteries series)
A novel by Zeph Baxter
Welcome to the Fresh Start—your safe(ish) interplanetary retirement cruise.
Safe… unless you count the occasional unscheduled space ejection.
Gravity works*
*Keep those special boots on. (And don’t ask too many questions.)
A state-of-the-art hydroponics bay for all your ‘earthly plant needs.’
Yes… all.wink wink
A captain who cares—until he’s dead.
An AI that runs everything… and insists this is fine.
So what could possibly go wrong?
When the captain’s death gets stamped ‘accident’ and the ship’s systems start acting a little too convenient, one thing becomes clear:
On a sealed starship full of retirees, crew, and cameras… anyone can rewrite the story.
And if the wrong person gets blamed, the next ‘accident’ might not be an accident at all.
HYDROPONIC HAZARD is a locked-room murder mystery in space—Book 1 of the Retirement Starship Mysteries.
Read now on Kindle or Kindle Unlimited.
Book 2 coming up soon.
Previously published as Apple Crumble & Airlocks
Genre: Science Fiction
