EVERYBODY WANTS THAT SHIP
When salvage captain Oren Jandt leads his crew of misfits and outcasts into the remote Xican system of Koomerf-Mur, he’s chasing a mysterious signal and hoping for a good payday. What he finds instead will change the fate of the Near Expanses forever.
Buried beneath the crust of a drifting asteroid is Zoh — a 1.3-kilometer Progenitor vessel, ancient beyond reckoning, awake after millennia of solitary slumber, and desperately lonely. When Zoh reaches out to Jandt’s crew with a single word — Kin? — Jandt makes a decision that will put him in the crosshairs of every major power in known space.
Because everybody wants that ship.
Corp forces want to weaponize her. The reptilian Tingur want to exploit her technology. The caniform Xicans needs her protective firepower. And somewhere in the darkness of Inheritor space, something ancient and damaged stirs with a purpose no one yet understands.
But Zoh has chosen her kin — and she doesn’t take orders from anyone else.
KIN SHIP: String of Stars is the first book in a five-volume space opera series built on found family, ancient mysteries, star-spanning empires at odds and righting an ancient wrong.
It’s space opera for readers who believe that the best stories aren’t about the most powerful weapon in the galaxy — they’re about the people brave enough to choose family over safety, and love over survival.
