Lieutenant Sue Fisher’s job is boring. Mind-numbingly boring. Her official title is “Emergency Watch Officer” at Orado Port Control. But all that means is that she sits around all day while the port’s AI takes care of business. She’s there in case something goes wrong...and nothing ever does. That is until she receives a distress signal from a ship that should, by all counts, be light years away. Now it’s up to Sue to uncover what caused the disaster that crippled the ship. And what she’ll find will have her wishing for the peace and quiet of her old job. An all-new story set in the world of the Boundary series, with new entry Castaway Planet available now.
