War is on the horizon... Danielle Cholla saves a legendary warship from eternity in a junkyard never expecting to run afoul of the craft's murderous artificial intelligence. When the ship wakes the captain locked in cryonic stasis on its lowest deck, and begins killing her crew, Danielle must decide which lives she values more-the crew she's come to know and love, or the masses enslaved after the galactic civil war ended fifteen years before. Revenge is a bitter taste in Osiris Bowlin's mouth, but he would rather dine on vengeance than starve in submission. While he's spent a decade and a half in stasis, the government body known as the Paaom sank their claws deeper into the citizens he'd sworn to protect. It's a duty to which he's still bound, but leaves him asking what one man-what one ship-can do against an enemy whose influence strangles even the outer territories.
