Copy Cat

The filthy Canines have taken the Quartz Sector and overthrown Ramses’ nemesis on Baast. The Emperor has vowed that the feline systems will NOT go to the dogs, so it’s up to Herc Tom to once again to save the Empire AND the Baastards.

But unbeknownst to our hero, Inga Quin left a surprise the last time she was in Herc’s head; he may not be quite himself, but someone else might be.

“Copy Cat" is a speculative fiction novelette, and is the eleventh of the Herc Tom, Champion of the Empire tales.
