Publisher's Synopsis
You can't outrun your past . . . Korri Fontenot left family behind on Earth a century ago to fight in a war that broke her body and her mind. Now, her great-granddaughter, Jackie, has followed in her footsteps. First as a Marine and then as a mercenary outlaw, Jackie has made the mistake of breaking into a secret corporate lab and stealing an ancient alien artifact. Dark forces want the artifact back. Only Korri can save her from the assassins on her trail. What starts out as a fight against ruthless mercenaries leads them far outside human space, and into the remnants of a fallen empire. For the artifact that Jackie stole isn't just alien treasure, it's a weapon with the power to restart an ancient war--a war that could bring down all of human civilization. For fans of galaxy-spanning military space operas like James S. A. Corey's The Expanse and Richard Fox's Ember War series.
