Publisher's Summary

In a demilitarized zone on the border of human space, long range spy satellites are mysteriously going quiet, and no one know why. Captain Susan Kamala and her crew are dispatched to figure out what's going on and solve the problem.

That problem, however, is a mysterious, bleeding-edge alien ship that no human vessel could hope to match in open conflict. But, it's not spoiling for a fight.

Now, the Captain and her crew must figure out how to navigate a complicated game of diplomacy, balancing the needs of their corporate overlords, and the honest desire for a lasting peace between the two races, all without letting a long-standing cold war turn hot.

Where is the sequel?

I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure into the Black with it’s strong characters, alien threat with a twist and sharp humour. The science in the fiction isn’t painful to read as in some books which I put down specifically for this reason, So I ask, “where’s the sequel?”. I think you will enjoy. Have a read.
