The captain is all blond hair, boots, and ego…and Alana can’t keep her eyes off her. But the Tangled Axon proves to be more than star-watching and plasma coils. Maybe her boldness will land her a long-term gig on the crew. When the desperate crew of a cargo vessel stops by her shipyard looking for her spiritually advanced sister Nova, Alana stows away. “Alana Quick is the best damned sky surgeon in Heliodor City, but repairing starship engines barely pays the bills. Looking for a queer female lead who is also a woman of color, is a brilliant mechanic, and must deal with a chronic illness while helping save her sister and the crew of the spaceship she’s stowed away on?

Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. “In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company.
