<p>I am frankly irritated that this book is not funded yet. I read it. It&#x27;s good. If you like sci-fi (specifically... space marines, it&#x27;s very The Expanse like), you should read it too. We just need 12 more backers at the paperback tier to hit funding goal.</p><p><a href="https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/is-friday-productions/black-hole-guns-for-hire?ref=mastodon" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.backerkit.com/c/projects/is-friday-productions/black-hole-guns-for-hire?ref=mastodon"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.backerkit.com/c/projects/i</span><span class="invisible">s-friday-productions/black-hole-guns-for-hire?ref=mastodon</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/scifi/" rel="tag">#Scifi</a> <a href="/tags/transauthors/" rel="tag">#TransAuthors</a> <a href="/tags/readtransauthors/" rel="tag">#ReadTransAuthors</a> <a href="/tags/indieauthors/" rel="tag">#IndieAuthors</a> <a href="/tags/pridemonth/" rel="tag">#PrideMonth</a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a></p>
