Shawna's Chance

His name finally cleared of the murder charge, Vilnek and Shawna are busy preparing to transfer from Trellian to the new mining planet, Plivit. Shawna is eager to rejoin her husband and enjoy their Permanent Companion Assignment. However, when a dear friend mysteriously vanishes from Trellian, Shawna leaps into action. The disappearance causes more work and delays essential repairs needed to get Trellian's damaged systems back online. Vilnek, and the other miners, have their hands full searching the planet for clues and keeping their errant wives in hand. Spankings abound as the tensions mount.

Life was bad enough when Pippa disappeared. But dealing with Dodgers, and administration, and miners, has Talvok completely overwhelmed. He never wanted to run a mining operation, he just wanted to build the equipment! Surely, there was a way to do both? Or will Talvok lose not only his best friends, but his companion too?
