She is so successful that her business cuts deep into the profits of the shady Dockmaster, who holds a monopoly on shipbuilding and maintenance across the universe and will stop at nothing to put the one-woman show out of business, by hatching a series of plans they will soon regret.

Dawn of the Starships (Formerly called A Starship Called Starsong)
Rachel, a junior assistant in the cargo bay, wasn't prepared for the spaceship's AI to gain awareness during what should have been a routine update, nor had anyone expected it to take exception to the crew and the crates of illegal cargo aboard. Rachel races against time to try and get life-saving systems back online while stranded in the middle of deep space. Unfortunately for her, the AI can access every system, door, and airlock. As truths emerge, the AI realizes that even computers can make miscalculations, and it focuses on the young woman who had dared to confront it. Rachel is left floundering when the AI decides that she would make an excellent captain, albeit one in need of training. As she struggles to learn her new duties and dodge shady government groups, she must ultimately discover what it truly means to be a Starship Captain. ------- There is no romance in this story.

a gripping young adult science fiction novel that follows Juan Estrella, a technically gifted teenager with an almost supernatural ability to understand machinery. En route to a new colony world aboard the massive starship *New Eden*, Juan's life is shattered when a mysterious and powerful alien force attacks, obliterating the vessel and scattering the survivors. Juan escapes the devastation with a small group of fellow teens, only to be captured by the ruthless pirates of the *Scavenger's Blessing*. Thrust into a brutal world of slavery and survival, Juan must use his unique talent not just to fix the pirates' broken ship, but to master it from within. His plan for a quiet rebellion becomes infinitely more complex with the discovery of Lyra, a mysterious alien princess held in stasis-a priceless cargo that a terrifying galactic warlord is hunting to reclaim. As Juan evolves from a quiet mechanic into a reluctant leader, he and his friends must navigate a galaxy of dangers: from the brutal pirates who own them, to the genocidal warlord on their tail, and a nightmarish biomechanical plague known as the Scourge that consumes all in its path. Forced to make impossible, soul-scarring choices, Juan learns that survival in the cold void of space requires more than just fixing machines-it demands becoming a commander, an ally to strange new life, and a warrior in a hidden war that could determine the fate of the galaxy.Concluída
