Nothing Larger Than These Stars

Faith thought she was done with the Company forever. Nearly a decade after her flight from the crushing intergalactic corporation, the respected engineer keeps a low profile as a general mechanic on Iona, where cooperation and collaboration are the standard way. But her peace is upended when several Iona residents fall victim to a helpful-drug-turned bioweapon that throws them into irreversible stasis and turns their bodies bright turquoise. She's nearly certain the Company is behind the mysterious unknown saboteur wielding this weapon.

Faith would rather stay hidden, but her intimate knowledge of the megacorp’s MO makes her the logical choice to lead an investigation that could be her found family’s last hope of avoiding full-blown destruction. She’s desperate for allies, but who should she trust? The new resident, who's "nice guy" persona doesn't quite match up with stories of a shady past? Or the smart (and smart-ass) Company official who arrives heavily armed with her own set of sneaky priorities? And then there's the ex who left her for dead and disappeared without a trace all those years ago...

If Iona is going to survive, Faith will need to build a coalition and find a way to blend their competing agendas, and make the connection before she becomes the next victim.

Nothing Larger Than These Stars is the first book in the Iona Duology science fiction mystery series. If you like competent adult heroines overcoming their demons, battles against corporations with sinister intent, and a dash of romance, then you’ll love this tense and twisty drama.
