Architects of Memory
by Karen Osborne

Karen Osborne debuts with a lightning-fast, science fiction action and adventure combining the corporate greed of The Expanse with the underdog characters of Firefly.

Terminally ill salvage pilot Ash Jackson lost everything in the war with the alien Vai, but she’ll be damned if she loses her future. Her plan: to buy, beg, or lie her way out of corporate indenture and find a cure.

When she and her crewmates salvage a genocidal weapon from a ravaged starship above a dead colony, Ash uncovers a conspiracy of corporate intrigue and betrayal that threatens to turn her into a living weapon.
