An exciting prequel to the Bloodhunters series! One planet, six tales. Cytrine Delta has a reputation for being the science capital of the galaxy, and has been the source of many technological breakthroughs.

An animal-obsessed orphan has to escape from the clutches of a kidnapper. A terminally-ill woman must go to extremes to receive treatments. A young trans man finds himself living on the streets, and must join a gang in order to survive. A lab assistant copes with an abusive boss while performing experiments on a litter of leopards. A cat-like police officer and a shadowy mercenary compete to catch an escaped convict. These short stories reveal the early exploits of some of the galaxy's most notorious bounty hunters, and lead up to the events of Bloodhunters v1: Bad Blood.
