Shadows over Menkalinan
Kai Randal wants nothing more than to fly quietly, stay neutral, and keep his apprentice Parri out of trouble. But when a covert job in the Menkalinan system exposes them to a deadly secret-one older than any star chart-their quiet life fractures in an instant. A catastrophic test flight leaves dozens dead and one brilliant commander, Shreya Nova, desperate for the truth behind her husband's disappearance. Pulled together by disaster and circumstance, the three uncover evidence that the tragedy was no accident, and that someone powerful is willing to kill to keep the secret buried. Hunted, cornered, and caught between rival powers, Kai must rely on instincts honed over a lifetime in the cockpit, while Parri confronts dangers far beyond any training simulation. Shreya, armed with nothing but a broken heart and razor intelligence, finds herself caught in a conspiracy that could shift the balance between empires. The shadows gathering over Menkalinan are deep, and the truth hiding within them is older and far more dangerous than anyone imagined. The mission was supposed to be simple. Instead, it awakened something no one was prepared to face.Complete

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔
❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.
