A Black Ships Novella (After Book 2 - Dark Defiance)
Time is money…The wealthy will always seek to hoard both.
Dr. Dwight Young is working in orbit, on Tartarus Station, reverse engineering the longevity of an alien species. The backers aren’t looking to create a gift to humanity; they see power in a life that lasts for centuries - a stranglehold on time itself.
To get that power, they’ve gone all-in and now the bankers are nipping at their heels. Time is slipping away from their grasp and there’s precious little to share with Dwight and his team. He’s starting to worry. He’s an orphan with no family connections on Earth. Nobody on the team has anyone who’d miss them if they failed to come home.
They’ll be replaced if they don’t deliver results fast enough: a team of loners on a project that still needs Human test subjects. The safety protocols add weeks to the timeline...
What could possibly go wrong?
