Pirates of Mars, the new Mars adventure story by Chris Gerrib. Lieutenant Peter Grant of the Volunteer Space Rescue Service is taken hostage by pirates, who are holding him for ransom. The Rescue Service can't afford to pay a ransom and is not equipped for an armed rescue. Fellow Rescueman, Jack Williams, unwilling to violate Rescue tradition and leave a person behind, decides to improvise a rescue. . .

Review\nOne of our Spaceships is Missing is a great sci-fi adventure, particularly for those interested in a future that isn't aliens and space wars, but rather a human story with human stakes that make the story more relatable, even in this hyper-futuristic reality. 
Windy City Reviews\n"One of Our Spaceships is Missing" is an easy-to-read sci-fi story of a hijacked space cruise ship, with four main narrators bringing light to the situation of pirates, hostages, investigators, and the military rescue efforts. ... I was drawn to the story because it combined so many of my favorite elements: police procedural, suspense, space pirates, and queer characters galore. 
Liminal Fiction\nIn the 23rd century, spaceships just don’t go missing. 
FBI agent Ray Volk is assigned to a task force to investigate a tragic accident: the disappearance of interplanetary passenger liner ValuTrip Cardinal, carrying 500 souls between Mars and Earth on a routine run. What looks like a cut-and-dried case of pressure loss is complicated by the arrival of a Martian Captain. A very cute Martian Captain who keeps sticking his nose in Ray’s investigation. 
Martian exchange student Kelly Rack knows the disappearance is no accident. She survived the ships’ hijacking, but learns the former cruise entertainer leading the pirates has plans for the passengers, and they don’t include sightseeing. Kelly has avoided the murderous pirates, except now an off-duty Earth Commander insists on organizing resistance for the passengers. She forces Kelly to climb through service tunnels on sabotage runs, risking capture and death. 
Can Ray shake down the right accomplices to capture the good ship ValuTrip Cardinal before its new captain spaces everyone on board? Will Kelly discover the pirates’ hidden plans for their prisoners? The race is on, because One of Our Spaceships is Missing!\nGenres: Space Opera / Military Sci-Fi / Science Fiction / LGBT and Non Binary\nMarket: Adult
