About this ebook

If you loved the adventure of Star Wars and the bold, idea-driven storytelling of Star Trek, welcome aboard Lightwave Fold Transport.

Saree has a secret. A talent so rare that trillions depend on it.

If anyone discovered the truth, they'd sell her out in a heartbeat—the reward is simply too much to resist.

She's been careful. But careful isn't enough anymore. Rumors are spreading, and a bounty hunter is closing in. With nowhere left to run, Saree boards Lightwave Fold Transport just as the trap snaps shut.

She's safe now.

Or so she thinks.

Because Lightwave's crew weren't always honest traders. They were mercenaries—the very mercenaries who destroyed her childhood home and left her an orphan. She barely escaped.

Now she's trapped aboard their ship.

Will they recognize the frightened girl they hunted years ago? And if they learn who she truly is… will there be anywhere left in the galaxy to hide?

Perfect for fans of classic space opera, Lightwave: Clocker delivers the wonder, danger, and heart of golden-age science fiction. Discover Saree's secret today.

Really enjoyed this book. Kept me interested throughout, well written, liked the characters and no bamboozling sci fi space nonsense! But clearly thought about the practicalities of space and how one might operate in it. Also liked the moral conversations with the AI. Very enjoyable as well as making me think!

Really enjoyed the story, and look forward to the rest of the series. This is a well written blend of engaging and humorous characters, plausible space travel, thoughtful intelligence and skillful story telling. I would rank this author with C.J. Cherryh and Lois McMaster Bujold.
