Recced because: There can never be enough stories about Gita Chandra, especially if Ace, Mickey, Martha, and Sarah Jane are involved. I love it! It's a fun story about thwarting aliens set in the SJA universe. Hey, if Craig Owens can kill a Cyberman with love, why can't Gita and the gang give it a shot with flowers!
Excerpt:
Ms. McShane sighed. "You know, this is the third flower shop we've lost this way."
Martha said, "I keep saying we should try a different business. Something less dangerous."
Her husband added, "We could have a pet store. Or shoes. Men's shoes."
"I like flowers," said Ms. McShane.
Sarah Jane placed an arm around her shoulders. "Maybe change the store name?"
Mickey said, "Yeah. 'Sherwood Florist' is unlucky."
Martha said, "I wanted to call it Everything But Roses. I was outvoted."
