Dark Matters
Lucy Harris is on the run, desperate to escape her abductors who want to erase her existence. Her presence on the planet Tecra risks igniting a war, and she must do everything in her power to stay out of enemy hands. Meanwhile, the powerful AI battleship Bane seeks retribution against the Tecrans and searches for Lucy, a human woman mentioned by a fellow Class 5 system. Commander Dray Helvan, tasked with dismantling Tecra's military, finds himself drawn into a mission to protect Lucy, even if it means war.
Dark Matters can be enjoyed as a standalone novel but is part of the larger Class 5 series.
