The Broken Gate Job

By Patty May Zweydorff

Captain John Hayes and the crew of the independent salvage ship Mended Wing only wanted a paying repair job.

Instead, they are pulled through the primary wormhole after Orison Station's gate fails, leaving thousands stranded on the wrong side of space. The station is damaged, the gate frame is gone, and unknown black ships are still moving in the dark.

John's crew has the tools Orison needs: salvage arms, gate-repair equipment, stubborn engineering, and just enough bad judgment to keep working when everyone else is panicking. But the deeper they dig into the broken gate, the more dangerous the job becomes.

The gate was not built over empty space.

Something older was already there.

Now John, Rook, Jax, Leni, and the people of Orison must decide whether restoring the gate will save the station - or open the very thing the old warnings were meant to keep sealed.

The Broken Gate Job is Book One of The Gate Salvage Chronicles, a grounded science-fiction adventure filled with damaged ships, station survival, alien politics, strange technology, hard choices, and a salvage crew that keeps getting stuck with impossible work.
