Derelict: Halcyone Space, book 1

*In advance of the upcoming publication of DREADNOUGHT AND SHUTTLE (book 3 of Halcyone Space), book 1 - DERELICT - will be on available for just $0.99. Enjoy the story that started it all.* <br /> <br />When Rosalen Maldonado tinkers with the derelict freighter, she's just hoping to prove she deserves a scholarship to University. She certainly doesn't count on waking the ship's damaged AI or having three stowaways, Micah Rotherwood and brothers Jem and Barre Durbin, along for the ride. They all have their private reasons for hiding aboard and lives they are seeking to escape, but if the accidental crew can't work together and learn to trust each other, they'll die together, victims of a computer that doesn't realize the war ended decades before any of them were even born. <br /> <br />DERELICT is book 1 of the Halcyone Space series of science fiction space opera adventures. ITHAKA RISING, book 2, is available now. DREADNOUGHT AND SHUTTLE, book 3 will be out June 2016. <br /> <br />A kindle bestseller upon its release in 2014, DERELICT has been described as: ". . .not the usual YA. Nor is it the usual space opera. While some of the characters are military, they're not the heroes. In the second book, in fact, it becomes pretty clear that the Commonwealth, the interplanetary government, is no benign Federation, that there are serious cracks within society, and history has been... sanitised. <br /> <br />A diverse cast, real consequences to physical injury, no easy fixes, realistic character arcs. . . .
