Author John D. Waterman is pleased to announce the promotion of his science fiction novel, "Inkling." Set on a nondescript planet, the hero, Gyro, goes looking for a job and ends up on a galactic transport to a mining planet. A distortion in the hyperspace jump throws the spacecraft far off-course, and a mutiny threatens survival for all the passengers and crew, while their food supply runs out.

 “Inkling” is the science fiction story of a man named Gyro, a down-on-his-luck veteran of Planetary Defense, who also happens to be an amateur computer programmer. Desperate for a job, he signs a five-year contract when the Virtue Mining Corporation offers him a career on Joules, a far-distant mining planet. He goes through basic training with Skoots, a former high school sports star who has a major obsession with women. Despite their differing personalities and outlooks on life, the two men become fast friends. During transport to the mining planet, a distorted hyperspace jump throws their spacecraft into an uncharted sector of the galaxy, thus placing the welfare of the crew and passengers in jeopardy. Hopelessly lost in space, Gyro has an idea, an inkling about how to use his programming experience to rescue the ship, but a mutiny erupts on board, making survival a race against time as their food supply runs out.
