Synopsis: Politics, passion, and pudding.
No, this isn't a steamy romance.

When Vanti and O'Neill graduated at the top of their academy class, they thought they'd get their dream assignments. Instead they end up in security on Station Kelly-Kornienko. Sure, the station if glitzy, but they're basically well-dressed security guards. Until someone murders the chair of the board.

O'Neill and Vanti go undercover to find the killer. Along the way, they learn much more about the station--and each other--than they ever expected.

This short story is a prequel to the complete Space Janitor series.

My rating: ★★★★☆

Orbital Operations is a short story that takes place years before The Vacuum of Space and it follows Agent Ty O’Neill and his partner Vanti as they investigate a murder on the SK2 space station, which is the space station that Triana Moore lives on.

I really enjoyed this short story! It was a lot of fun, and I just love Ty. It was in his POV, by the way, which I really enjoyed. And we got to meet his partner Vanti, who I also really liked. She is a badass and she is sassy and I really hope we get to see more of her in the series because I loved the camaraderie between her and Ty. We also had an Anabelle Morgan appearance, which was pretty cool (and if you’ve read book one, then you know who she is 😏). And although the take down of the bad guy was a little anticlimactic in my opinion, I did overall enjoy the story.
