Vahl's Kiss: A Ryann Voss Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798285671077)

Lieutenant Ryann Voss craves a career-defining mission, but her first deep-space assignment aboard the UNS Indira Vahl is anything but. A routine convoy escort quickly devolves into a monotonous patrol, leaving Ryann bored and restless. Yet, her sharp mind soon uncovers unsettling anomalies: a ship humming with quiet disinterest, subtle system irregularities dismissed by her stoic superiors, and an undercurrent of unease that hints at something far more sinister.

When a horrific accident cripples a crewmate, Ryann unearths a terrifying truth: the Vahl isn't just battered and war-weary, it's being deliberately sabotaged from within. As a shadowy conspiracy unravels, forcing the ship into a deadly collision and claiming lives, Ryann finds herself fighting not only for survival, but for the truth. With every trusted face potentially a traitor, and her own name flagged as a liability, Ryann must navigate a labyrinth of deceit that threatens to silence her-and the entire crew-forever.

In the cold, unforgiving vacuum of space, where enemies are unseen and allies are few, Ryann must expose the lies before the Vahl becomes a tomb.
