Oceana

A cargo space pilot must be ready for anything.

But a formidable alien warrior on the run asking for sanctuary? She should draw the line somewhere, even if he maintains the engines and guards her aging spaceship in port.

Through a series of misadventures, she ends up on the planet Oceana, plunged into a fiery maelstrom of relationships and war.

Meet underwater aliens and fierce mercenaries in this science fiction story of a space captain who might be a little jinxed when it comes to getting into trouble but will fight to the death to protect her friends and family.

SPOILER ALERT!

1. This story is primarily a sci-fi adventure, so the romance subplot is low key, slow burn, and clean.

2. No aliens burst out of human chests.
