Arianrhod's Line is the third book in The Pirates' Web series. Nothing's free but trouble, and there's plenty out there with Arianrhod's name attached... The trading ship PSS Arianrhod, under her owner-captain Cinnabar Ahxenta, has to hold her own within an expanding charted galaxy of fluid political alliances, where changing Trades Alliance rules are forcing the PSS fleet into the firing line of any future conflict. Though the war that created chaos across the charted galaxy is over, hostiles are still out there spoiling for a fight, and with a newborn interstellar alliance calling the shots and sending out high-tech ships to explore beyond traditional zone boundaries, Arianrhod and her sister ships find themselves running afoul of home-grown as well as alien hazards. As underhand deals between alliance partners and greedy outside contractors to increase power and profits undermine political unity, old and new threats surface, and grisly alien secrets that have personal meaning for Captain Ahxenta amongst others, come to light. But trading across the charted galaxy brings surprises as well as dangers and some of those tie the mighty Private starship even closer to the aloof Captain Thal and his maverick Starfall fleet. With doors closing and trade tighter, Arianrhod finds herself in a pact that means a flight into the unknown... where past sorrows and more troubles arise to haunt her captain.

The missed time you'll never make up, links to griefs you thought you'd mastered." Dr Axellina Flintlock.

In The Buzz Kill by Kevin Hearne, Oberon the Irish wolfhound and Starbuck the Boston terrier sink their teeth into a new Meaty Mystery (#3) when they discover a body underneath a beehive in Tasmania.

The hounds recruit the help of their Druid, Atticus O'Sullivan, and the Tasmanian police to track down the killer in the interest of a reward-a nice juicy steak, perhaps, with a side of justice. Grist of Bees, by Delilah S. Dawson writing as Lila Bowen, follows Rhett Walker, who has given up his destiny as the monster-hunting Shadow to settle down with his beloved Sam. But when the call to action grows too strong, Rhett saddles up to follow a peculiar bee into the unforgiving desert.

But now, after a death that may not have been deserved, she's left rudderless, without plan or purpose, until a woman with a strange power of her own takes her in and gives her a new mission-and a new target.
