Opis

Empty Space Dorienne Nielsen has no clear vision of her own future...until an object rockets from the sky and slams to earth behind the county fair barn. The mercenary extraterrestrials, Den and Zeeto, want a scrounger. Dorienne's smart mouth and voracious appetite for information fills the niche. Utilizing an illegal cybernetic augmentation, Dorienne dives head-first into information scrounging while dodging pirates, other mercenaries and political zealots. Tricky interstellar politics and the stigmas of being human in a non-human vacuum test her at every turn. Second Signal It sucks to be left behind. At first, anger and depression at being abandoned drags Dara into a boring routine within the domes of Moon City. However, with her cybernetic abilities, she finds a way to alter her own fate. Now in possession of her own ship, the Delphine, Dara traverses the stars with a fresh band of misfits. She discovers the plots of a renegade laboratory lurking beneath some tragic circumstances, and only she knows the whole truth. Rogue agents, ever-present pirates, an annoying whisper, and a mission that tests the bonds of friendship and crew loyalty overtake Dara as she struggles to maintain control over her own unique capabilities. End Transmission After several attacks on Dara's chosen home, Moon City, and a mysterious seizure, she is persuaded to go to a different planet for an extended stay. No rest is to be had on a world in the midst of revolution, and her health deteriorates further. Still troubled by strange activity--the whisper--in her cybernetic augment, Dara seeks out the one place that might have the answers--those same renegade labs responsible for so much under-the-table mayhem.
