Time to Kill

Vision Starflight Systems has one rule for its newest test pilot: Break the ship.

Not literally. Just push tomorrow's experimental tech past its breaking point before it becomes somebody else's disaster.

For Jacqueline "Jacky" Kenyon, it's the job of a lifetime. She's spent her life chasing impossible flight envelopes and the raw freedom of flying where sensible pilots wouldn't dare. But a routine test run in Sector Ten uncovers a variable the front office never planned for.

A mysterious symbol painted on a battered freighter. A conspiracy corporate executives will kill to keep buried. And disturbing evidence that the people branded as lawless pirates might be the only ones fighting for the truth.

As powerful megacorporations tighten their grip on the frontier, Jacky is caught in the crossfire of a silent war. On one side: a corporate future built on fear, profit, and heavy warships. On the other: a scrappy, independent outer rim that refuses to bow down.

With brilliant engineer Scott Crossfield at her side, Jacky must decide where her loyalties belong. Because the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that the next ship she pushes to its limits might be the one that changes everything.

And this time, surviving the test flight is the easy part.

Some futures are built on risk. The best ones are built on hope.
