Starfire

By Kevin Cary-Grimm

Aria Kade is a survivor forged in the brutal mines of Colony Seven and tempered by the experimental cybernetics that saved her life. As captain of the Starfire, a vessel as much a part of her as her own augmented heartbeat, she sails the cosmic currents seeking redemption for a past she cannot outrun.

When fragmented data bursts emerge from the desolate Perseus Veil, Aria and her crew are drawn toward a legend whispered by ancient cults: the Quantum Beacon. A relic of the Progenitors, the Beacon may be the only hope to stabilize the Great Rift-a growing cosmic scar threatening to swallow existence.

But the Starfire is being hunted. Out of the darkness comes the Lattice Swarm, a chillingly efficient collective of nanomachines that views the Beacon as the ultimate catalyst for its own ascension to godhood. From the gritty industrial labyrinth of Nebula Forge Station to the physics-defying maw of the Rift, Aria must navigate shifting alliances and existential terror to save the galaxy from a silent, replicating end.

Discovery has a price. Survival has a debt. And the stars are watching.
