Star Forge

A year after the interstellar array revealed its self-awareness, former Imperial Ranger Danny Andela is still the only human it truly trusts. Calling itself Noam—and wearing the face and personality of Danny’s long-dead son—the array controls the gates and communications that hold the Carinad Empire together. Keeping Noam stable has become Danny’s impossible second career.

It has also made her broke, isolated and increasingly distrusted, even by the crew of the Supreme Lythion.

Then an unstoppable armored soldier hunts Danny across a space station. The attack should be one more enemy to identify and eliminate. Instead, it exposes a far more terrifying possibility: someone with enormous power has been sabotaging Danny’s life, manipulating the people around her and building weapons capable of threatening the Empire itself.

Now Danny must discover who she can trust while staying alive long enough to confront an enemy who can see almost everything she sees, hear almost everything she hears—and control the infrastructure of civilization.

Star Forge is Book 2 of the Imperial Hammer series, a character-driven space opera of rogue artificial intelligence, galactic intrigue, dangerous technology, found family and explosive action.
