Webrid is a carter. He's also the savior of the world. Is it so
much to ask that he get a break, and get to enjoy the simple things
in life - like booze and babes - without being asked to drop
everything and save the day? Again. But all the planets of the
Raralt Circle will crack to pieces unless Webrid can complete one
simple carting job. How hard could it be to save the world? After
all, he's done it before. - - - Blue Diamond Delivery is the sequel
to Green Light Delivery, and gives us another look into the
wisecracking, noir-tinged worlds of the Raralt Planetary Circle and
the lives of Webrid, Stravin, Zatell, and an interplanetary cast of
weirdoes you can't help but love.
Webrid is a carter, like his mother and grandfather before him.
It's not glamorous work, but it mostly pays the bills, and it gives
him time to ogle the sexy women on the streets of Bexilla's
capital. Mostly, he buys and sells small goods and does the
occasional transport run for a client. Then he gets mugged by a
robot. Now, with a strange green laser implanted in his skull and a
small fortune deposited in his bank account, Webrid has to make the
most difficult delivery of his life. He doesn't know who his client
is, or what he's carrying, but he knows that a whole lot of very
dangerous people are extremely interested in what's in his head.
Literally. And they'll do whatever it takes to get it. With the
help of some truly alien friends, a simple carter will journey
across worlds to deliver his cargo. And hopefully keep his head in
the process.
