Story Notes

Summary

Jazmyn is a void salvager, an opportunist who profits from the brutal realities of the Outer Rim. The void is a graveyard of derelicts, the result of mechanical failure, catastrophic FTL jumps, and navigators driven mad by the voices in the fog. Jazmyn has built her reputation on a simple principle: she’s one of the few who can retrieve the mangled remains of ships lost to every conceivable void disaster. A high-paying contract from a mysterious corporate client gives her a chance to get ahead. But the mission pulls her and her crew into a conspiracy within the mega-corporation that shaped humanity's New Frontier. Suddenly, the void's whispers aren't just a business hazard anymore. They're at the center of a secret so valuable, corporations are willing to kill for it. Jazmyn, an expert at dealing with the wreckage, must now confront the living danger at the source of it all.
