Alpha Process (The Sector Salvagers, Book 1)

By Nicola Claire

"It's not only the Navy watching you out in the Black."

Humanity once knew the stars. Centuries after losing much of their technology, they've finally managed to reach them again. But history has made those in power cautious. The reformed New Earth Space Force patrols humanity's sector of the known systems. Guarding what is left and searching for what is lost.

Everyone knows the Navy watches you out in the Black.

Making a living in forgotten space, Captain Jules Stone of the SV Toby dives derelict starships and stations to salvage Old Tech. It's a lifetime away from her past.

But the Navy is always watching.

On a routine inspection of a non-responsive salvage tug, the NESF Pioneer meets its match. Powerless and drifting, Captain Nathan Miller sends out a distress call, knowing no one is close enough to save them.

Surprising everyone, including herself, Jules responds, setting a series of events into motion that will shape the known systems for decades to come.
