Of Whimsies and Noubles

A novella. Cover art by Ben Baldwin.

Art forger and corpulent master criminal Luff Imbry travels from Old Earth down The Spray to the skinflint world of New Gargano to trade some of his counterfeit confections for a pouchful of the fabulous gems called noubles. But Imbry is not the only one with duplicity in mind, and soon the fat man finds himself imprisoned on a nameless world where the only question is whether he’ll dwindle to a lifeless husk before or after he goes irretrievably insane.
