FYI a reefer is a temperature controlled shipping container. Usually they are used to ship produce or any other temperature sensitive goods.
See I occasionally do my research ;)

This sounds cool – the title was what got me, and now I’ll have to go to the beginning of the series.

Well described, although there’s a couple typos. In the first paragraph, I think it should say had she come to rest against the pier. In the second paragraph, a warm summer eve.

Another cool entry, but some critique! You know you love it, Kev.
Think betweenspace meant ”…had she not come to rest…” There, she’d just makes it read as “had she had.”
On the summer part, it’d probably work better as “a warm summer’s eve,” but I think you could remove the whole summer reference entirely and the sentence would work better.
And finally, “Yep,” Nick replied. “Military grade?”
Nobody likes someone who replies with a question!

No worries Jon… as always I appreciate the constructive criticism, and totally agree. It was another situation where I’d started off the sentence one way, then changed it, yet not completed the modification… and of course I read it correctly each time I looked at it, LOL !

Heh, I know how that is. You get so focused on what you’re trying to write that you don’t see what you’re writing, no matter how closely you read it.
Loving this series, so far, so don’t stop!

Not sure how I missed this earlier, but another awesome entry. It’s kind of amazing to me how much you’ve grown as a writer in such a short time. This was very well done.
The only critique I have is incredibly minor. I’m thinking this:
“Drones buzzed around the gaping hole that used to be her aft cargo hold like gnats,”
might read better as:
“Drones buzzed like gnats around the gaping hole that used to be her aft cargo hold.”
The way it is now, I kinda get lost before you reveal the “like gnats” part.

military grade nono. now it gets interesting!
