Faith believed in the benevolence of the Company until it "repurposed" her code to frame her lover, then tried to kill them both. After a decade of lying low on independent planet Iona and pretending her traumatic past didn't happen, Faith's blown out of her comfort zone when someone starts attacking her planetmates with a mysterious drug that throws victims into stasis and turns their bodies blue. She can see the Company's fingerprints all over the sabotage. But she can't prove it alone, and at this stage trusting the people around her could prove more dangerous than facing the enemy she thinks she already knows. She'll have to decide whether to take the ultimate risk to save her home, and that may mean leaving everything and everyone she loves behind.

If you want science fiction that's heavy on the FI with enough SCI to satisfy, the Iona Duology is for you! Enjoy deep mystery-in-space vibes without needing Neil Degrasse Tyson on speed dial. Solve the mystery along with Faith in this completed two-book series.

Nothing Larger Than These Stars (Book 1):

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 puts 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.
