Something's stampeding through deep space. It isn't a cow.
Sparky McNeil is a hardworking space cowboy who communicates better in whistles than words, and his sapient Mini American Shepherd, Sunset, wouldn't have it any other way. When a wild electrical creature stampedes through their herd of solar-sailed space manta and fries the Yellow Rose of Texas dead in the void, the pair must save both the herd and the ship with nothing but grit and an electric lasso. Their situation gets stranger, and warmer, when a blue-furred alien in a purple cowboy hat drifts alongside and turns out to speak the universal language of broke engines and cold drinks.
If you love cozy science fiction with big ideas, unforgettable characters, and a universe that feels like home even when it's very, very far from Earth, this story is for you.
