With humanity's manufacturing in shambles, scavengers have become a staple for continued maintenance in the war against the Shells. Kel Wardlaw, a young cutter, is hired for a scavenging job that sees him leaving home for the first time and setting foot on an unexplored alien planet to try and gather enough materials to help with the war effort back home.

Carrion Crew is the first in an upcoming novella anthology, by up and coming author James McLean, that looks to tell the smaller stories of a fictional war. In his novella, Carrion Crew, we see the story of a scavenger as he does his duty for the troops back home. In other upcoming novellas, we will see stories from shipbound engineers, bridge crew, fighter pilots, civilians, and even survivors of conflicts where the Shells had hit their hardest. Did we mention that you will be able to read these in any order you want?

Enjoy the first step of this series, and please, keep your eyes peeled for more bite-sized tales from the Void In-Between.
