The backend of space is no place to get stuck without enough credits to fill the fuel tank on an interstellar frigate, but that's exactly where Captain Rick Cave finds himself. Stuck on a New Slav planet in the outer rings, waiting for the right opportunity to get back in action. "No questions asked, Captain Cave." When a scientist and his lovely assistant show up, requesting a ride, Cave agrees. Soon, he finds himself up to his neck in trouble with galactic gangsters and corrupt officials. "The Positronic Pretty" is action-packed space opera that harkens back to classic pulp sf. However, this is an adventure that only C. C. Blake could tell. This eBook edition includes a bonus story: "Trapped in the Star Sultan's Labyrinth of Doom."
