Manto. A Mentusa story. Mentusa, #1

The first failure is easy to dismiss. The second isn't. By the third act of sabotage, Captain Kesla knows someone aboard the cargo ship Mentusa is preparing for something far worse. As suspicion falls on crew and passengers alike, the veteran captain races to uncover the truth before the ship's communications, sensors and life-support systems fail completely. Then an unidentified warship appears from deep space.
Outgunned, outmatched and carrying a passenger worth killing, the ageing freighter has only one advantage. Its crew know every inch of their ship. Sometimes that's enough. Manto is a science fiction thriller filled with mystery, humour and old-fashioned space adventure.
