The Hollow Between Stars
The Korinthian has been dead for twenty years, and Sevra Thorne intends to make a fortune picking its bones. Her salvage crew breaches the shattered colony transport expecting frozen cargo and silent corridors, but the distress beacon is still screaming and something aboard is not quite empty. When Port Magistrate Olin Vast moves to claim the wreck and silence everyone who knows what really happened to the Kolony, Sevra finds herself caught between a brutal magistrate, a vengeful Reclaimer captain, and a Concord operative with orders to bury the truth at any cost. As rival factions converge on the derelict and the bodies begin to fall, Sevra must decide whether to cut her losses and run, or risk her crew to uncover the secret that has been waiting in the dark since cycle 1,827. Some wrecks are not abandoned. Some beacons are not crying for help. And some holloms between the stars were carved on purpose, to hide what was done to the people who lived there.
