[Underneath is a paperback book, the cover painted with the colors of a red desert and a dark cloud of space dust. Once the paper is completely off, the writing on the front is revealed:

Under the Milky Sky by Rebecca Rose Rushmore.]

She's one of the best western sector novelist in my time. This one's a favorite of mine, don't worry, it's age-appropriate.

[Some of her later stories contain...rather salacious scenes. There's kissing in this one, but nothing that he would keep away from an innocent young person.]

'S about a former space marine retirin' to her home planet after a war and findin' love. I took a lotta inspiration from the settin' descriptions in my own writin'.
