A DIY cover mock-up I created for my beta readers |
When her first job on a planetary survey vessel goes belly up, Kate Malone finds her life and love threatened as she is swept into a vortex of events beyond her ken or control.
Kate Malone is beginning to wonder if she made a mistake in leaving her home on Old Earth to join a three-year planetary survey mission on the other side of the galaxy. Her boss, the senior biologist on the team, seems to delight in tormenting her, and her fellow junior officers love to sneer at “the little princess from the museum planet.” The only good thing that has happened to her since she joined the R J Boscovich was meeting Perry Auslander, a fellow misfit who quickly becomes her constant companion and adoring admirer.
But just when she thinks her budding relationship with Perry might make the whole experience worthwhile, their growing bond is put to a severe test when the mission is cancelled, and personal tragedy throws her life into turmoil. Abandoned on a remote space station, cut off from everything and everyone she has ever known or loved, pursued by mysterious, malevolent strangers, Kate must grapple with a harsh truth: she can never go home again.
Rocked by stunning revelations about her loved ones and her own life, Kate must cast herself into the deep sea of her troubles and trust providence to steer her toward allies who can help her regain control of her life and chart a course for the future. Only in this way can she weather the storms of circumstance and destiny that threaten to overwhelm her.
