Hosted by award-winning writer Yvonne Battle-Felton, this episode features Grant Carrington reading from Down in the Barraque.
About the Book: : A starship is being built in orbit and a unique piece of equipment is stolen and falls into the hands of Kip and his friends.
Blood brothers and bandmates, Kip Marten, Flyte Error, and Red Green spend their nights playing clubs in the barrique for 'quests and topsiders alike, and their days sleep it off. That is, until a chance discovery in a reclamation bin upends their lives and puts them--and the entire barrique--in danger.
