The crew of the Sunda Tiger is stranded on Research Colony 227C. They have no ship. No comms. And no choice but to work with their android hosts despite all their lingering doubts.
Shaula wants to focus on the androids' missing memories, but she is instead assigned to the salvage of the Sunda Tiger. Can she succeed in this group project? Of all androids, she is the least likely to get along with people, particularly chatty, upbeat humans…
Faolán, also assigned to the salvage crew as security, is trying his best to buoy the spirits of the group. Though even he's finding it hard as interpersonal conflicts arise, and he has his own worries about medical care. It doesn't help when certain grumpy androids start making his life more complicated…
Just when they all think things couldn't get any worse, tragedy strikes in the form of murder. Shaula and Faolán must work together to identify the murderer in the salvage crew and bring them to justice. Who wants the salvage to fail, and why? What is the murderer trying to hide? With the androids' memories compromised, any one of them could have been used as the murder weapon.
Even Shaula herself.
Mysteries of Planet Android is a sci fi romance murder mystery with a grumpy x sunshine pairing in a forced proximity green flag romance.
