Reaper by Regine Abel
3.0
Originally read as part of a Pets in Space anthology, but this edition has been expanded with new scenes added - I assume to incorporate some plot points that will come up in the next book, but I haven't started that quiet yet.
I liked both Reaper and Janelle the first time I read this, and I still like them here. Janelle is an amazingly resilient woman, surviving being trapped underground for 20 years with only the modified Creckles as companions. Reaper and his crew arrive just in time to save them all, as well as some other treasures lurking in the abandoned base.
The new bits (as best I could tell) involve a Coalition rescue vessel coming to help with the unexpected treasure. The Vanguard team is a bit surprised to have them respond, and Janelle especially doesn't trust them, for good reason as it turns out. I think this splintering in the Coalition forces, now that the war is over, will be the basis of the plot for the next book (and any future books??).
