About this ebook
After narrowly escaping death at the hands of a band of escaped prisoners, the Chai Makhani Trio now rely on those same young renegades to get them to the only hope that still remains for them.
The hidden rebel spaceport. But Koltn Ward and his Enforcers from the Commonwealth pursue them still. The sounds of his tanks and shuttles echo through the jungle, drawing ever closer. The rebellion holds the only hope for the Trio of evading Koltn Ward.
But what if the rebels refuse to help? What if the trio leads the Commonwealth Enforcers straight to the rebels’ door? But none of that matters if they never reach their destination. It all depends on their guide Jax, the last person the Trio wants to depend on.
"The Hidden Spaceport” is the fifth episode in the ongoing monthly science fiction adventure serial TALES OF THE CHAI MAKHANI TRIO.

The ground here was drier, they didn't need to prowl through the treetops picking their way over whichever tree branches were wide enough and horizontal enough to make a sort of path, and they didn't need to battle undergrowth to make their way through. In fact, the ground beneath the trees looked almost sandy, the plants more grasslike than thorny.
And yet every step he took in those soft cloth boots, something jabbed into the bottom of one foot or the other. Sharp-edged rocks, woody thorns that stabbed deeper than the rocks, and fine nettles that he discovered still embedded in the cloth covering his ankles only after they had spread their fiery venom down through his foot.
Everyone else save for Alextra had the exact same boots, and yet no one else was flinching, let alone complaining. How tough were their feet?
At least the air was better here. It was cooler, breezier, less humid, and without the rot of vegetation he had grown so used to constantly smelling since leaving his high mountain home he had stopped even noticing it.
But having grown up within the stone walls of that city, he had a hard time placing what he was smelling now. It was familiar, but only vaguely. Like
